Employers can use Tax 21 to efficiently report incidents that may disqualify a claimant from receiving unemployment benefits, such as refusing work, failing to take or pass a pre-employment drug test, or missing a scheduled job interview. Reports can also be submitted through

Individuals receiving UI benefits may be disqualified if they fail to accept offers of suitable work or if they fail to submit to or pass a pre-employment DOT-qualified drug screen. However, to investigate the possible disqualification, Reemployment must be notified. In many instances, a job applicant who is also claiming benefits will not report the refusal or the failure and thereby escapes disqualification. The failure to report the refusal or failure is a form of UI fraud.

An employer usually does not know if a job applicant is collecting UI benefits and, in turn, does not notify Reemployment of the refusal or the failure. To help prevent this fraud, employers are encouraged to report all cases of these situations, regardless of whether the employer knows the individual is drawing benefits.
