Labor Commissioner Michael Harrington is urging that recipients not open the 1099 letters and to keep them safe. He wants all 1099s to be returned and all those who were mailed 1099s will be issued a self-addressed stamped envelope in which to return them.
Some recipients may have received more than one 1099 because of the nature of the new pandemic benefits issued by the state and federal governments last year. None of the Regular UI 1099s have been issued.

by Timothy McQuiston, Vermont Business Magazine The Vermont Department of Labor is aware of a mailing and printing process error that impacts 1099-G tax documents that were mailed on Friday and Saturday (January 29 – 30).
If you received a 1099 from the Department of Labor, they are asking that you DO NOT OPEN IT. VDOL will send you a self-addressed stamped envelope in which to return it. VDOL suspects a printing error resulted in some people getting someone s else s information. This could have occurred even if the address information appears correct.
If you have already opened the 1099-G, please put it in a secure place and wait for the SASE in order to return it (them). Do not discard or destroy it. A new 1099-G will be issued.
