EXTENDED BENEFITS

Claimants who are eligible for Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation under the recent federal extension of benefits may return to the PEUC program when the EB program ends.

Extended benefits is a federal program that extends state unemployment insurance benefits during periods of high unemployment in a state.
DID YOU GET UNEMPLOYMENT IN 2020?
The IRS form is called a "1099-G," and contains information about the total amount of money you received from NC DES during 2020.
Unemployment benefits are considered "taxable income," according to NC DES, and thus must be reported on your federal and state tax returns.
Your 1099-G documents will be sent to you either by mail or email, but you can find it on your NC DES account page right now too.
To access your 1099-G, which you will need when filing taxes, login to your NC DES account first. Once you log in, you will see the words "View my 1099G" in the black underlined text in the lower-middle portion of the screen. Click that link to see your document, which you can print or save to your computer.
The 1099-G forms will be available to all people who received unemployment funds by Jan. 31, 2021, according to NC DES.
