Can I apply for unemployment benefits with a work permit while my green card is pending?
I’m near the final stage of my employment-based green card case. I’ve already received work authorization and had been working.
I’d like to know if I can apply for and receive unemployment benefits if I become unemployed in this situation, even though I don’t have my green card yet.
If you received work authorization while your green card was pending and worked under it, you can apply for unemployment benefits.
