Not sure if this is the correct forum - feel free to move if its not.

I am a 10yr card-carrying Permanent resident. I got my 10 yr card around this time last year and its good to 2019. (I arrived in the US in August of 2005.)

I started a great job in 2006, and have been there ever since. However due to the economy, things are getting extremely stressful there and I am really worried about the possibility of a layoff. My question is, now that I am a permanent resident, am I eligible to file for unemployment? (I know there is something that my wife had to sign during the visa process, agreeing to support me for a certain number of years... is this still in effect?)

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

See profile - my sig is too big now :(

It depends on what your prior employer(s) did.

I say you file, immediately. Then, some caseworker will tell you what your benefits amount and duration will be.

re: your wife signing something - that was for her and the us gov.

It doesn't reflect on YOU and unemployment compensation, at all.

Good Luck !

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
