IVians,

Wondering if anyone on this forum at had applied for unemployment benefits in the state PA. My wife who has a dependent AOS pending wnats to file the claim and see if it gets approved.

on PA state Govt. website, it is asking for the Alien registration number(A#?) if the person is not a US citizen.Is it o.k to provide the A# ?? Also, since my spouse worked on 1099-Misc for a while,we don't think they are going to accept our Applictaion to provide unemployment benefits. But we just gonna try and see...

Please advise?

Have you done any homework before asking these questions? Have you called the unemployment office to inquire about her eligibility?

To answer your question,

Yes, it is OK to provide A#. Without the A# they will not be able to check on her immigration status.

You would qualify for Unemployment in PA as long as there is a pending green card application.

Offcourse the applicant should have earned income in the previous year to qualify.

I would highly advise you to contact the unemployement office in your local city and explain your situation and get their advise.
