Hi everybody, 

 

I just got my green card beginning of 2020. My husband is a freelance and lost all his lined up jobs until May. Can he ask for unemployement? 

I currently do not have a job, so will we be perceiving benefits that could impact my status? Will I become a public charge? 

I have read a few topics on this forum about stimulus checks, will we get only one check for him or two (one for me too)? We filed our taxes together in 2018.

 

Thank you, this forum helped me so much during my green card process.

1) Unemployment insurance is not a benefit.  

2) public charge was decided before you received your green card.  Now you just don't apply for anything that would be considered federal means-tested benefits.

3) did you file with an SSN or ITIN?
