Claiming Unemployment as an Immigrant

[Abcd1234 102]

Would extra $600 count towards maximum unemployment benefits allowed for individuals? For example mine is 350 a month for 26 months it is around 9100 maximum in old scenario,  but now with extra $600 i will reach there quick maybe in 2 months, so would $600 count towards maximum for person?

I worked only one month and it was closed due to Covid-19, so nothing to do right?

And I do not want to use any public assistance.

 

Also I do not qualify for unemployment cuz of short period of working in US?

 

Are there any other options to get through this hard times?

 

 

 

Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

You can apply for unemployment and let the state determine your eligibility rather than assume you are automatically ineligible

They stated that those who were newly employed and their employer had not paid into unemployment system for that employee were not eligible for stimulus 600.00 payment.  However, I agree to still apply. It varies state by state.

Not sure it changes anything but payments for Q1 wages are due by the end of April for most state unemployment funds.

Not right now but you'll receive a credit when you file 2020 taxes in 2021.

Quote

In 2017, A decided to go to graduate school full-time. A goes to school in 2018 and 2019, earns no income, and files no tax return. As a result, A does not receive a check for $1,200 as part of the stimulus package in 2020. If A files a 2020 tax return, however, A will receive a credit against her tax liability in 2020, effectively putting an extra $1,200 into A’s pocket.

You need to look at that form describing who is eligible to use it.   You will discover you are not eligible to use it.

Anybody can answer some questions about I134 afidavit support?

 

And also want to know if someone gets food from the church that does charity, is it considered public charge in the future?

Thank you, will appreciate your answers.

Here is the definition on USCIS website for Public Benefit:  https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-8-part-g-chapter-10

 

UI is not listed as public benefit. 

 

We are in California, our UI came as our approved weekly amount PLUS $600 per week. For example my partner got $450 per week from UI plus the $600, a total of $1050 per week.
