I am on unemployment for the first time and they say I need to be filling out a form every 2 weeks saying I was looking for work. My question is how serious are these forms when I fill them out? Do they track down every place I tried to fill out an application for? I am super confused on how all this works and hoping a fellow hexbear can help my neurodivergent ass out.

I am worried about messing up on the only form that gets my rent and medical insurance bills paid. I just feel like there is a Sword of Damocles above my head waiting to drop when I don't dot an i or cross a t to their liking. I am also not the smartest person in the world when it comes to this stuff and the reassurance helps me a lot.

understandable anxiety but you should be fine. their main goal is to direct you towards resources to help you find a job, not punish you for bureaucratic trivialities.

Gotcha, thanks for replying to my thread. It might not seem like much but it means a lot to me.
