Question about unemployment?
Find answers to your legal question.

Hi!
I was on H1B visa from last 3 yrs. I recently received my Green Card through marriage. I don't have a job from last 3 months. Should I eligible for unemployment? I live in PA.

Thanks

Not if you worked on a visa. That is temporary contract employment, which is exempt from unemployment benefits. This is why employers hire foreign workers (no unemployment or other benefits or employer costs).
