R.I. asks unemployed to update their mailing addresses

The Rhode Island Department of Labor and Training wants to make sure it has the correct, current mailing address for the 63,000 or so people who collected unemployment benefits last year. Otherwise, they won't receive the appropriate tax form in the mail over the next few weeks. And that could spell tax trouble.

Raymond Filippone, who oversees the state's unemployment insurance program, said the agency must send out a Form 1099 showing how much in unemployment someone earned last year. The form is important for tax purposes. But if you've moved recently, you may not receive the form. To make sure the correct address is on file at the agency, use this link, or clip out the form that will be advertised in newspapers throughout the state in coming days.
