Do not act without a decent immigration counsel advising you on your next move: you may be detained, and issued a Notice to Appear in Immigration Court for removal.

You are not qualified to receive UI benefits if you are not ready willing and able to take a full time job. If your immigration status means you do not have the right to work right now, then you should not certify that you can.
Good luck to you.

Yes the information is needed. There should be a place for their date of birth and possibly date of death.
