Open Question: How likely is it to get an unemployment audit in Oklahoma?

They mail you a form to list all the companies you apply for and you are required to apply for 2 jobs a week in oklahoma and list the company and their HR's contact # on the form. My wife and I haven't been on a vacation in 3 years since our honeymoon because of my first job not giving me paid time off for two years and we had a baby last July. Now I get laid off after working an average of 70 hrs a week for about a year. The baby is old enough and we are ready for a break. We would like to go to NY and visit family for 3 weeks, but of course if I don't apply for 2 jobs a week, technically we get cut out of pay for those weeks. We need the money. Can we take the trip and still get the benefits without having to even apply for jobs online? Or does the chances of getting audited outweigh taking that chance?
