Unemployment insurance benefits..public charge?

[freedom_fighter]

Hello,

I'd like to know can a dependent (not the prime applicant) on a pending 485 status, avail unemployment insurance, especially the extended benefits which are being given by Federal govt. to the states.

This is the latest from USCIS : Pls copy paste the entire link

http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New Structure/Press Releases/2009 Press Releases/Oct 2009/public_charge_fact_sheet.pdf

it says, that unemployment compensation is not public charge.

Does it even apply to both standard unemployment insurance and the extended benefits.

thanks

The question is not about receiving it. I believe the problem is when uscis review ur application, are they going to approve ur gc when they know you are receiving public benefits.

for receiving it, i think everyone who has I485 can receive it when they apply it.
