No.
How do you even claim it?? U r out of the country within 60 days of losing ur job, right?
How about for those 60 days you are unemployed?
H1b is not eligible. The reason there is a clause for unemployment claim that you should be available and ready for work. But as you require h1b sponsorship you do not fulfill that criteria. Your need for h1b sponsorship means you are not immediately available work unless and until your h1b transfer is approved. H4 Eads are eligible to claim unemployment because they are available to work without any sponsorship prerequisite
How about I-140 compelling circumstances EAD are they eligible to get unemployment?
I believe compelling circumstance EAD is eligible but only after approval and card received. Not while application is pending because you need physical card in hand to be immediately available for work.
Are EAD eligible for unemployment benefits ?
Yes you can! Unemployment benefit is nothing but the insurance - anyone who contributed towards it can use the benefit. How long, how much is dependent on the situation. But no stopping of h1b, h4 ead or l2 ead
I wouldn't recommend doing it. It gets your current visa status under scrutiny
EAD is not a visa , you are no longer in non immigrant status if you use EAD
Oops. Missed that. But with EAD I believe you have to do relevant job I think - can be tech job for free at local library
You can! All other has no idea what they are talking about.
immigrants are there to pay taxes and contribute to economy without claiming benefits. Pls understand the system.
