mrav85 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi, My spouse was working for day care till last week. Due to the current COVID situation, the day care has placed her on standby status and the center is closed. Since she is on H4 EAD, can she claim for unemployment benefits from state of Michigan? If she claims this benefit, would there be any immigration issues with respect to GC processing for myself and for my spouse? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 For unemployment benefits, the person has to be willing and able to work in any job. With an H4 EAD that is the case, so she should be eligible foe unemployment benefits. These are not government benefits, they come out of an insurance employers pay into. So there is no issue for the GC. Quote Link to comment
