No, they can't require you to seek more games. Officiating is not the job that you lost. All they can do is require you to actively seek employment. But since you have revealed that you are making money from officiating, they will require you to report that income.

Personally, I would have kept my mouth shut. I guess some will frown on that but I couldn't care less. When you're unemployed, it's all you can do to survive. Your benefits are going to be a very small percentage of what your salary was.

I've been where you are. It's tough, no doubt about it. Good luck.

I completely agree with your statement. I would not go around telling the unemployment how much money I make in conjunction with officiating. If you are a contractor would you tell the unemployment office you fixed someone's gutter for minimal pay?
