Unemployment FAQ’S
What is unemployment insurance?
A government program to help workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own enjoy temporary income until new employment can be found. Unemployed workers who voluntarily quit their jobs or who were fired for cause are generally ineligible for benefits.
What may be the benefit to me?
50% of the average weekly income, for a fixed duration set by the state.
Which government agency manages the unemployment insurance program?
The Division of Unemployment Assistance (DUA), who make the final decisions (subject to appeals) about whether an unemployed worker is eligible. One must make initial and periodic application to remain eligible.
State or Federal law?
The state government makes the law regarding Massachusetts unemployment insurance programs, but this state made law must follow federal government guidelines.
How is the program funded?
Employers in Massachusetts make quarterly payments to the DUA. The amount each employer must pay into the fund depends on individual circumstances. Since the employers fund the program, it is the employers who will contest claims.
I have been denied benefits, what are my options?
