My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Oregon

Hi,

I'm receiving unemployment benefits and a former employer (not my last employer) offered to get me in touch with someone who is looking for my skills. I reviewed the email, and it looks like the person is a freelancer who is looking to hire other freelancers. I don't want to take a freelancing job that will affect my UB and may well last only a few weeks to a couple months and be part time. Am I obligated to follow up with my former employer and get in contact with the freelancer? It seems the freelancer was referred to my FE by someone else, and no job offer has been made, but the UB questionnaire asks each week if I "refused work". Do I need to follow up on this?

Thanks
