I posted a question regarding Unemployment Benefits on the AOS from Work forum.

At our local Labor website, they ask for the "Alien Registration CARD number" to be able to claim for Unemployment.

Now, I know my card must be in the mail by now, but I am wondering if I this number on the GC is the same as the A# assigned to you when you receive your NOAs on the AOS process?

Should I wait for the GC to apply for benefits, or can I just use the A# as I am authorized to work with an EAD?

its the A#, the card itself has no number.

Oh wow. Does it mean I could have claimed UI as soon as I got NOAs with the A# and the EAD?
