If you are receiving FICA benefits, then your employer has to report those payments to the government, and that is how they tell.

Otherwise, they do not know if you are working . . . unless they send an examiner or investigator to look into your affairs.

You should contact the nearest office of the Colorado Department of Labor to know for certain. You can probably google "Colorado Department of Labor" and send them an email to ask. If you can collect unemployment you'll have to contact that office anyway, to get the paperwork.
