Most unemployment programs require you to make and report a minimum of "two contacts" per week. You probably got used as one of the two required contacts, though the person was likely not interested in the job.

Is that true that most require this? I know people living in two different states on unemployment, and, to my knowledge, they aren't doing this.

It varies by state. There's currently no work search requirement to receive UI benefits in California, for instance.
