• Unemployment Assistance (Special Cases)

  • We have found several incidents where the individual’s employer (who filed on their behalf) keyed their SSN incorrectly and/or if the individual filed, the information entered does not match the Social Security Administration records. We crossmatch all of our UI records with SSA. In these cases, they will receive a letter advising of the information they need to provide. This information can be emailed to UI_Integrity@gdol.ga.gov.
