I believe so. Unemployment compensation received by debtor or by spouse would be reported on line 9 of the B22 Means Test, and unemployment compensation received by other dependents would be reported on line 10 "income from all other sources". However, I would strongly urge you to consult with an actual attorney before deciding on your own that you aren't eligible for a chapter 7. Careful pre-bankruptcy planning might result in this income being excluded or negated.
