I think they most certainly do. Consider this, to collect one’s benefits one must apply for at least 3 jobs per week. In many fields it's difficult to find very many appropriate openings, but if you do perchance find say 5 do you apply for all 5 in one week, or apply for 3 one week and use 2 for the next week and just have to find one more to meet the requirement for that following week? The result, you end up applying for fewer positions so you don't run out of qualifying job openings to apply for.

In CA, you “could” get away with 5 job applications to show the gubmint’ you are out looking for a job. My EDD buddy who works for the State that with the amount of people applying for E/U I, it’s close to impossible to verify if the recipient did apply for the company that he wrote down. FYI, the job training courses are nonsense.
