Worked as a contractor from consultancy. got laid off from client saying no more work as the result of the current crisis. Am i eligible for unemployment benefits for such nature of work?

eligible त तपाई हुनु हुन्छ, तर तपाई citizen होइन भने चै पछि धेरै गारो पर्छ, public charge rule आकर्षित हुन्छ, सुनेको कुरा, मेरोमा एउटा नेपाली भाई ले छुट्टि पाई सक्यो, उसले भनेको, येस्तै भयो भने ६ मैना पछि मेरो नि छुट्टि हुन्छ / H1 मा काम गरि रा थ्यो भाई

if you have permanent resident card ( even tps may qualify), you can. If this is related to covid-19 ( you should be able to prove this), you can get additional 600 max per week under new pandemic unemployment claim program ( this is likely applicable for citizen only ). If you are h1b, you are out of luck. H1b is considered valid as long as you have work. Every claim filed in any states are sent to INS for work authorization validation and for h1b defaults to invalid work authorization while filing claim.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Well i'm on EAD from pending I-589. Will applying for benefits affect my case in future? and how can i possibly provide evidence for the unemployement benefits?
