According to DETR, claimants are receiving text messages that appear to be from the agency, asking them to verify their identification.

DETR has stated that this communication is not from their office.

“Unemployment Insurance staff does not send out text messages and urges people to ignore texts claiming to be from UI staff.

Emails sent from the unemployment division do not contain links or ask for identifying information. Benefit emails are plainly informative, and receivers are asked not to respond to them.

DETR’s official websites for claimants are http://UI.nv.gov, where people can access an online portal, and http://EmployNV.gov, where job seekers can find job postings and workforce training information and businesses can get help finding employees.”
