actually, Federal regulations require that they track you for a minimum of THREE years after the last time you 1) filed a UI claim 2) received UI benefits 3) registered in a state Job Match System 4) filed a Worker's Compensation claim or First Report of Injury 5) came off active duty, including Nation Guard or Reserve mobilization 6) were on welfare or food stamps 7) received any service from a state employment agency, welfare agency, or veteran's agency/// we track you by SSN through WRIS (wage reporting information system), New Hire Report, interviews, household surveys, and other methods. Unless you have managed to drop off the grid entirely (not possible for anyone working above the table, using their SSN, credit cards, cell phone, etc) you are being tracked, routinely. I can't tell you how many times daily people try to tell me garbage while their entire record with employers, wages, and government services for the last 15 years is sitting on the screen in front of me at work.
