Guys calm down. While there is nothing wrong in taking unemployment benifit now, I would suggest not to take till n unless its absolutely necessary due to economic hardship. Here rules changes frequently n enforced in no time. There are rumours up in the air about delay/disqualify in GC, Citizen, n revoke of naturalized citizenship if someone has taken low income packages (food stamp, medical benefits etc) or involved in crime.
As I've said earlier, you can take it as per own risks but I dont encourage.
Be proud of being immigrant n show that we work our ass off but never beg.
