        yeah there is a system in place to report it even when you are not getting benefits but at one year it won’t let you anymore. thats as long as they are willing to keep track. even though they have an automated system to do it where I put in the work to register my status.

          Gotcha, you’re talking about a system that gives you unemployment benefits.

          Even without your able to report it there, they are still aware you’re unemployed. If you were employed, the state would be receiving quarterly income tax withholding from your employer as well as FICA contributions at the federal level. You’ve also filed your taxes for 2024, and they see that the only earnings you had were prior to your employment ended.
