Japan’s unemployment insurance won’t pay out after the end of a work permit even if there is a remaining entitlement、because your not ‘available to work’, even if you’re on a specific job seeking permit extension.

In USA, if you are on h1b you cannot claim unemployment since your work visa is restricted.

So even though h1b folks pay into the system they cannot claim unemployment.

True, but that's up to 5 years (and in the worst case at least 90 days, if you submit for renewal as early as possible) rather than 60 days.
