Unemployment Benefits ok for permanent resident applying for citizenship?

[Ready to do it 101]

My wife, Permanent Resident the past 10 years, as we married on a K1 Visa 10 years ago is about to apply for citizenship.  She has been self employed the past 6-7 years and has not worked for over 18 months due to Covid.  I just found out yesterday that the Cares Act, etc allows self-employed individuals to apply for Unemployment Benefits and some other extra federal funds.  I had no idea that self employed people can receive Unemployment benefits. Question... If we were to have her apply, or even backdate it back 18 months, etc for unemployment benefits for my wife could that affect her citizenship application? She hasn't applied for Citizenship yet. We've been putting it off for years. We plan to do it this month.  Does anyone see any issues with applying for unemployment benefits?  Perhaps there are rules against it?  Thanks for any advise.

Unemployment benefit is not an issue for citizenship application. She can apply for it.

I recently went through the interview process for my N-400 application. I had also received unemployment benefits since early 2020 due to Covid. It was no issue at all during the interview. The applicant will be asked what they currently do (in addition to the 5-year employment history asked for in the form), but it is just an administrative question. No further probing.
