Does EDD routinely verify your work-search record?

I haven’t kept good track of my work search, so won’t be able to provide my unemployment office with much tangible proof. How does EDD typically verify your contacts with employers? I now have to list all the people I’ve applied for a job with.

Hi Greg,

I honestly do not know the EDD’s internal policy for verifying work search records, but not everyone is checked.

Therefore, I have always assumed that in states without requirements to report to the employment office periodically that those chosen for audits were randomly selected.

Kind of like a cop randomly selects one from a group of speeding cars:)

Thanks for the question. It not something everyone would think to ask about.
