Why people who are getting benefits should file taxes too

I never thought that I would see the day when I would be jobless. I always thought that my job was secure but apparently that is not the case. I worked for a telecommunications company and it was downsizing the company because the telecommunication market was being affected all over the country and a lot of people are losing their jobs. this all started when a rival mobile service provider went along and reduced its calling rates in such a way the other mobile providers suffered because of this because they had to lower their rates too because they were losing their customers. I was one of the people who got laid off and because of that, I had to look for a job elsewhere and to also get a way of putting food on the table for my kids. So I applied for the unemployment benefits and I asked the agency do i file taxes if i received unemployment benefits when it comes to that time of the year of filing taxes. They told me that I had to file the taxes because that would put in to record that I was getting the benefits.
