60 days to find another job as you are authorized for that employer, once you are terminated you aren't authorized to work within the US unless employed by another and not eligible for unemployment. It's kinda sad because you obviously pay into our social security and unemployment and stuff but you aren't eligible for any of those programs. If you have SF experience, or another job at SF is open, happy to refer and help.
No unemployment benefits for H1b. And if you get public benefits in other forms you may be considered a public charge and your GC approval may be jeopardized. Please check with you attorney before making any decision
Stimulus checks are once in a lifetime type of deal. There were many exceptions to stimulus because of Covid-19 . That is not what I was referring to when considering public charge like food stamps and other scenarios.
I don’t think h1b visa is eligible for unemployment benefits.
I think if you are unemployed on H1B, you have to go back to home country. I believe you get 30 days to get your stuff in order. Check on it. Not sure if it’s still true now.
It’s 60 days
You should definitely check with a professional. If my memory is correct, you could claim the benefits in some jurisdictions but there was a question on greencard application as to whether you had ever claimed any benefits
Really not sure about this
No, you are not allowed to collect unemployment. Also if you were on a green card, i would highly discourage taking them, bc even though you are allowed and entitled to it the current administration will use it against you when you apply for your citizenship.
And yes I am going through that at the moment and living of savings.
No

UI rules vary state to state and if you somehow manage to get the benefits it will not impact you negatively during your green card processing. UI is insurance payment and you pay for the insurance.
That said, most states require that you be immediately available to take up a job for you to be eligible for Unemployment Insurance. Worst case, apply and get denied - just make sure you do not misrepresent anything
