On a green card but lost my job had 2 questions!

[test1234_test1234]

Guys ,

I have my green card but have currently lost my job. Its been 4 months and I still havent got a new job. Next year I am due to apply for citizenship, I had 2 questions 

1) Will I have problems becoming a citizen now that I dont have a job? 

2) Can I apply for unemployment (if my state allows it) and if I do would it affect my chances to become a citizen? So would it be better for me not to apply for unemployment? 

 

Regards

Naturalization doesn't require you to have a job.

You can get unemployment benefits. It doesn't affect naturalization.
