Unemployment and expired green card

Unless your father is a person of high concern to the Department of Homeland Security, or the green card is not real, your father likely does not have a problem with Immigration in applying for unemployment benefits. I note that the card's expiration by itself does not invalidate an individual's permanent resident status. Assuming that his only problem is that he allowed the green card to expire without renewing it, he is still allowed to do that at this time. He would fill out and send the I-90 application for a replacement green card with fee to U.S.C.I.S.
