To protect taxpayer dollars from criminals and ensure Arizonans in need can access benefits in a timely manner, beginning this week, claimants filing initial claims for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) will need to verify their identities using ID.me’s safe and secure online portal before they can receive PUA benefits.

States across the nation continue to see an extraordinary number of claims filed as a result of identity theft. DES has become aware that some Arizona residents are receiving notices and benefit cards at their address with the names of individuals who do not reside at that location. This is the result of criminals attempting to obtain funds from the new federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) program by using randomly selected in-state addresses during the application process. More information regarding unemployment fraud can be found here. To report fraud, file a report online or call the DES Fraud Hotline at 1 (800) 251-2436.

Arizona Refugee Resettlement Program - Quarterly Meetings & Contract Information

Español

In accordance with 45 CFR §400.5 (h) the state convenes quarterly meetings that provide opportunity for representatives of local refugee resettlement agencies, local community service agencies and others refugee-serving agencies to meet with representatives of state and local governments to plan and coordinate the appropriate placement of refugees in advance of their arrival.

To better facilitate this, as well as to advance greater coordination of refugee resettlement efforts, Quarterly Meetings convene twice annually in both Phoenix and Tucson, and twice as a statewide Joint Quarterly Meeting.
