This Form UIA 1718, Claimant's Statement of Wages, must be completed by you if either you disagree with the wages reported by an employer or an employer did not report wages for you at all.

The UIA Employer Account Number consists of an assigned seven (7) digit account number plus a three (3) digit location/multi-unit number. The location/multi-unit number is three (3) zeros unless you have submitted a request for chargeable locations.

The UIA will send you a determination that says you have committed intentional misrepresentation if it thinks you've committed fraud. If you get a determination that says you have intentionally misrepresented information to the UIA, it may include information about the money you have to repay.

Early each year, the UI issues its Tax Rate Determination for Calendar Year 20__, Form UIA 1771. It shows an employer's prior Actual Reserve, benefits charged, and contributions paid (basis of the CBC and ABC components) since the last annual determination, and the employer's new Actual Reserve.

To be eligible, for unemployment benefits, you must be unemployed and: Available for work - you are willing to accept any full-time work that is suitable. Able to work - you are physically and mentally able to do full-time work that you have performed in the past or have been trained for.

If you become unemployed and get unemployment benefits while you still owe an overpayment, 50 percent (or 100 percent if fraud was involved in the original overpayment) of your weekly unemployment benefit payment will be taken for repayment. There are other penalties for fraud, too.
