Can GC holders collect Unemployment benefits?

[ramaka02]

Hi all:
My wife and I got our GC back in August 2014 (EB2 India). My wife received the pink slip today and has a 4 month severance package. She is going to start looking for new FTEs, but if nothing pans out during the 4 month, I was wondering can she file for unemployment Insurance/benefits while on GC? Would this (applying for unemployment benefits) have any impact on citizenship? As always your help is hugely appreciated.

Thank you!!
