View Full Version : contract work while on unemployment ? Massachusetts
|
larzim 06-16-2008, 02:02 PM Suppose you get laid off and are collecting unemployment. If you then accept a contract job for a month or so, can you then resume collecting unemployment after it ends ? cbg 06-16-2008, 02:12 PM Usually, yes. A definite answer can only be provided by the DUA. larzim 06-16-2008, 02:16 PM I'm curious what kind of situation would exclude you in that scenario ? ElleMD 06-16-2008, 02:18 PM Just one example would be if you voluntarily quit the new job after a month or so. cbg 06-16-2008, 04:44 PM It also could affect your benefits if you were fired from the new job for a disqualifying reason. lady_kaur 06-17-2008, 05:32 PM Benefit processing seems to go much more smoothly if you continue to make timely reports every week to the Mass DUA - including weeks you aren't eligible for benefits. |
