In recent months, Colorado and other US states have seen an increase in fraudulent unemployment insurance claims. In a one-month period in Colorado, 48 thousand of 62 thousand unemployment filings were found to be fraudulent. Criminal gangs have been using stolen identity information sold and aggregated by other hackers to file unemployment claims in an attempt to redirect pandemic unemployment assistance money to their bank accounts.

If you receive an unemployment insurance approval letter or ReliaCard debit card in the mail but did not file a claim, please follow the steps below:

1. Report the incident as fraud at https://cdle.colorado.gov/fraud-prevention
2. If you received a U.S. Bank Reliacard, fill out the U.S Bank Form and contact U.S. Bank immediately at 1-855-279-1678. Tell them that a fraudulent unemployment claim was filed using your information, and ask them to deactivate the card.
3. Place a fraud alert on your credit record with each of the three credit bureaus: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0275-place-fraud-alert
4. Order a free credit report at https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action and review it for incorrect or fraudulent information

Regardless if you have been affected by identity theft, it may be prudent to put a freeze on your credit to limit the damage from possible future identity theft incidents. Follow the directions at https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0497-credit-freeze-faqs for further guidance on placing a freeze on your credit.

Boulder County Launches Community Vaccine Notification Program

Boulder County residents can now sign up to be notified when they are able to receive the coronavirus vaccine through a new Boulder County Public Health notification system.

The new program comes on the heels of Gov. Jared Polis announcing “unexpected changes” to the state’s prioritization of who will receive vaccines first, according to a news release from the department.

The change significantly increases the number of people eligible to receive the vaccine during the first phase of distribution, including providing the vaccine to nearly 30,000 county residents who are 70 years old or older before teachers, grocery store employees and other front-line workers.

The system notifies people by email when they are able to receive the vaccine and is separate from the notification system for health care workers and first responders.

The community notification system is available at bit.ly/3ni2ybo.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

On January 5, 2021, the Board of Trustees will have an executive session at 6pm followed by their regular meeting starting at 7pm. The executive session is closed to the public, however the regular meeting is open to the public. The meeting will be held virtually through WebEx.
