H1B eligible for CA or OR State unemployment?

Technically, the moment you are separated from the company you lose your status, however, I read somewhere that some flexibility of up to 60 days either to get a new job or settle all your affairs here and return home. Please consult with a layer or in the USCIS website to be 100% sure.
If you pay taxes you should be able to claim all benefits including welfare!
unemployment benefits are for US citizens and green card holders.
Also the laws are really vague about how long you can stay in the country if you lose your job with your employer. It takes the systems a few months to record your updated status so, may have a few months before you have to go back home. Look at that lunatic that attacked Pelosi's husband. He is Canadian citizen who came in on a visa decades ago. Nobody ever found him.
Looks as if H1B may not be eligible for the unemployment benefit.
