    DETR set to send out ineligibility determinations in the PUA system


    this week

    CARSON CITY, NV – Today, the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation
    (DETR) announced that nearly 167,000 Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) ineligibility
    claim determination notices will be sent in this week.

    Staff have been working to verify the identity of PUA claimants. If identity cannot be validated,
    these cases have been determined to be ineligible for benefits. Individuals have the right to
    appeal this determination.

    If individuals think that they received this disqualification in error, they are encouraged to file an
    appeal. Individuals can also contact the PUA call center at either 775-298-6007 or 702-998-3081.
    Call center agents will work with DETR staff to address these particular claims scenarios and
    resolve issues as quickly as possible.

    DETR has identified a large number of questionable claims. In order to best address suspected
    fraud, DETR has flagged and reviewed these claims. Where a claimant’s identity cannot be
    validated, DETR has determined these claims have been found to be ineligible and they won’t be
    processed further.

    In each case, the claimant either did not follow through with an ID.me request for information or
    the claim was flagged for questionable identity. DETR has contracted with ID.me, a secure,
    identity verification platform, to confirm claimant identifies. Individuals who received a message
    requesting identity verification with ID.me are encouraged to respond by clicking on the green
    button and following instructions to verify identity.

    2800 E. St. Louis Ave. • Las Vegas, Nevada 89104 • (702) 486-7923 • Fax (702) 486-6426
    500 East Third Street • Carson City, Nevada 89713 • (775) 684-3911 • Fax (702) 775-7340

    Filers who receive notification of claim determination will get information about how to file an
    appeal at the same time. A request for appeal typically must be filed within 11 days after the
    date of mailing of the notice of determination of claim. DETR has currently waived the 11-day
    deadline due to the significant number of potential fraud claims. PUA claimants can file their
    appeal online at EmployNV.gov by clicking on the link to for more information on unemployment
    benefits on their claimant dashboard and then clicking on the “Appeals” link listed in the
    Unemployment Services screen.

    Claimants are reminded to continue to file weekly claims for unemployment benefits while the
    appeal is pending in order to receive payments if the appeal is decided in their favor.
