I dont know about the unemployment issue, but one thing I have done is to freeze my credit with each credit bureau. That means people cant open up new credit cards in your name. There is a downside because you have to call a number or fill out a form if you want to do so yourself, but it is supposed to provide a lot of safety. FWIW, I have had several account breaches and no known issues that came out of them. I do think it is important to take the steps you are taking and do what you can to prevent that though
