PHOENIX â Up to 60,000 Arizonans may now need to verify their identity to receive unemployment benefits, according to state officials.
Arizonaâs Department of Economic Security said existing Unemployment Insurance (UI) will now have to go through the verification process through a third-party company, ID.me.
Existing UI claimants must now verify their identity in order to continue filing for benefits. @IDme is a safe, self-service option to verify your identity. If you are unable to access @IDme, you can follow the alternate instructions provided in the UI portal. pic.twitter.com/70M9oACz2n AzDES (@ArizonaDES) March 6, 2021
