Fired Employee Receiving Unemployment...No One Contacted Me from Workforce Comission?

I recently fired an employee for theft (consistely stealing $400-500 from our register's despite being told to stop). He recently came back to collect some things he left behind and was bragging to my employees and me that he is receiving unemployment benefits.

Basically he lied to the Workforce Comission and said that he told them that he tested positive for Covid-19 and once he was well tried to get back onto the schedule and that I ignored him and "laid him" off without reason.

I have not received anything from the Workforce Comission nor have they contacted me about this. I'm worried my unemployment taxes will go up so what should I do?
