Virginia State Del. Tim Anderson introduced an emergency bill Monday that, if approved, would provide credit monitoring after 1099-G tax forms were erroneously mailed out over the weekend.
The vendor hired by the Virginia Department of Taxation sent forms filled with accurate information, including the last four digits of people’s social security numbers and how much they’d receive in refunds, but to incorrect addresses in the Virginia Beach area.
“In response to the vendor hired by the Department of Taxation erroneously sending out 1099-G forms to taxpayers, I have introduced an emergency bill with unanimous consent of all members of the entire House of Delegates to provide credit monitoring for the 13,000 affected Virginia Beach residents,” Anderson announced in a Facebook post Monday afternoon.

Anderson added that Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is aware of the error and intends to support the legislation by offering the credit monitoring service.
If approved, the legislation would provide credit monitoring through July 1, 2023.
“I am going to advocate for funds to be appropriated from this year’s budget,” Anderson said. “[I’m] very thankful to the Youngkin administration to quickly identify the breach and have transparency on the issue so this can be quickly addressed.”
