Frequently Asked Questions
How much will I get for unemployment in Massachusetts?
In Massachusetts, unemployment benefits are calculated at 50% of average weekly wages. The maximum you can receive is $1,033 (with dependents: $1,259) per week for up to 30 weeks. Your actual amount depends on your wages during the base period — typically the first four of the last five completed calendar quarters.
How is workers’ comp calculated in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts workers’ compensation pays 60% of your average weekly wage for temporary total disability, up to a maximum of 200% of SAWW per week. There is a 5-day waiting period before benefits begin — but this waiting period is paid retroactively if your disability lasts more than a certain number of days.
Can I collect UI and workers’ comp at the same time in Massachusetts?
Generally no — you cannot collect both at the same time. UI requires that you are able and available to work, which conflicts with workers’ comp temporary disability. However, if you recover from your injury and are then laid off, you may be able to transition to UI at that point.
