  • Unemployment benefits H4 EAD

    Hi

    I am on H4 EAD. I had been working remotely from India from last 2 months and recently got laid off due to Covid-19. I am still in India at the moment and have been receiving unemployment benefits.

    My question is: Does receiving unemployment benefits is going to affect our Green Card process or my partner's H1B's renewal process in the future?

    Thanks in advance.

    Unemployment benefits are paid into by your employer. This is not considered public charge & EAD holders can claim it. Regarding future GC, since it is not considered public charge you don't need to list it (unless the form changes and you are specifically asked to list any unemployment benefits you received)
    H1 holders cannot claim these benefits.
