Reporting a death

Call DWD at 1-800-891-6499 (Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Eastern) or email AskUI@dwd.in.gov. No online death-reporting form is published; phone or written contact is required.

Documentation for final payment

DWD's published guidance covers the 1099-G request: mail a statement that the request is for a deceased individual, your name, address, phone, and relationship to the deceased, the deceased's name and last four digits of their SSN, a copy of the death certificate (all but the last four SSN digits removed), and a signed letter showing you are authorized. DWD has not published separate documentation requirements for claiming a final benefit payment; contact DWD directly to confirm what is needed.
