My tax dollars at work...

elfsWeird. So, I filed for Unemployment Insurance today, actually going through the paperwork for the first time now that I'm completely severed from Isilon. I went through all the questions on the questionnaire, I brought a list of the eleven contacts I made last week, and they didn't ask for a single one.
I mean, how do they verify that anyone actually made contacts? That anyone went out and looked for work? That seems really stupid, just trusting people to fill out the information correctly like that. I suppose, sure, if I did show up on some taxation database they'd know about it, but it still seems a little too trusting right now.
Of course, they're probably way overloaded right now and don't have time to investigate various strange tics in the database, but this seems like a situation ready for abuse.
