1099-G forms available for recipients of unemployment benefits
Canton Daily Ledger
SPRINGFIELD 1099-G tax forms are now available for claimants who received unemployment insurance (UI) benefits in 2020, the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES) announced. Claimants who collected UI benefits last year need the 1099-G tax form from IDES to complete state and federal tax returns. The form is necessary for individuals who received state or federal UI benefits. This includes claimants who received regular UI benefits and/or benefits under the new federal pandemic relief programs, including Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA), Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC), Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation (PEUC), Lost Wages Assistance (LWA), and state Extended Benefits (EB).
Oregonâs declining three-month unemployment rate will mean the end of benefits to some people under one federal program.
But the acting director of the Oregon Employment Department said that, after the program ends Feb. 20, some of them will be shifted onto another federal program that will continue into the spring.
David Gerstenfeld advises people to continue to file for their benefits weekly.
What is ending in Oregon is the Extended Benefits program, which kicks in when a stateâs three-month average unemployment rate is higher than 6.5% but below 8%. Although Oregonâs rate went up a notch, from 6% in November to 6.4% in December, Gerstenfeld said the average has now fallen below the 6.5% average threshold.

Dawn Gleason estimates she’s called the state Department of Workforce Development‘s unemployment call center between nine and 12 times since late December.
Gleason, a single mother in Franklin who had breast cancer last year,
lost her job as the manager of a limousine dispatch service in March. She was relying on unemployment insurance to get by until those benefits ran out in December.
On one call to DWD’s help line, Gleason said she was told her new benefits would be paid by the beginning of January. That never came to pass.
