What Information Can You Provide on Massachusetts Unemployment Benefits?

Answer:
To be eligible for Massachusetts unemployment benefits,

individuals must be unemployed for reasons not of their own doing, and they must have been released from a position covered under the state's unemployment insurance fund. Claimants must be willing and able to accept suitable employment, and must be available to work.

In order to remain eligible for unemployment benefits, claimants must be actively engaged in the process of seeking employment every week that benefits are awarded.

Massachusetts unemployment beneficiaries must make a minimum of three attempts to secure employment during each week that benefits are claimed. They must keep a log of their attempts to secure employment, and provide it to a representative of the state's Division of Unemployment Assistance upon request.
