Can Green Card Holders Apply for Unemployment Benefits?

Answer

Yes, green card holders can apply for unemployment benefits. The qualification for unemployment benefits is based on your work history and the reason you’re jobless, not your immigration status. So, if you’re a green card holder who has been laid off or lost your job through no fault of your own, you may qualify for unemployment benefits.
