If you are eligible to receive Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits, you will receive a weekly benefit amount of approximately 50% of your average weekly wage, up to the maximum set by law

If you are eligible to receive Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits, you will receive a weekly benefit amount of approximately 50% of your average weekly wage, up to the maximum set by law. As of October 2, 2022, the maximum weekly benefit amount is $1015 per week.

This calculator helps you estimate your benefits. It is only advisory. You will be notified of your outcome and benefit determination 3-4 weeks after you apply.

For more details on how your unemployment benefits are determined, see the information in the sections below.

The amount of UI benefits you may be eligible to receive is determined by wages paid to you during either your primary or alternate base period. The base period is defined by Massachusetts law.

Primary base period

The primary base period is the last 4 completed calendar quarters prior to the effective date of your claim (typically the Sunday of the week that you filed your claim). For most claimants, the primary base period is used to calculate your maximum benefit credit, which is the total amount of benefits you are eligible to receive.

Alternate base period

The alternate base period is the last 3 completed calendar quarters and the period of time between the last completed quarter and the effective date of your claim. The alternate base period can only be used if:

You don't meet the minimum eligibility requirements using the primary base period

Using the alternate base period will increase your maximum benefit credit by 10% or more

Massachusetts employers are required to report wage information to the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) on a quarterly basis. This wage information is used to determine whether you have earned enough wages to qualify for unemployment benefits.

If you disagree with the wages reported by your employer

If you disagree with the wages reported on your Monetary Determination notice, you can provide proof of the wage amounts you are disputing by completing and returning the Wage and Employer Correction sheet that was mailed to you with your notice. DUA will review the information and make any necessary adjustments.

If it is determined that you have not earned enough wages under either the primary or the alternate base period, you have the right to file an appeal and present additional supporting documents at a hearing.

Your benefit year

Once your claim is established, it will remain open for 1 year (52 weeks). This period of time is called your benefit year.

Your maximum benefit credit (the total amount of benefits you are eligible to receive) is available to you for the duration of your benefit year or until you have exhausted your maximum benefit credit. Once your benefit year expires, any unpaid benefits will no longer be available to you.

If you are eligible to receive UI benefits, you will receive a weekly benefit amount of approximately 50% of your average weekly wage, up to the maximum set by law. As of October 2, 2022, the maximum weekly benefit amount is $1015 per week. Follow the steps below to calculate the amount of unemployment benefits you may be eligible to receive each week.

Step 1: List your total wages in the last 4 quarters in which you worked.

Step 2: Add the top two highest quarters of wages.

In this example, Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 were the highest quarters:

$8,840 + 10,000 = $18,840

Note: If you worked 2 or fewer quarters, use the highest quarter of wages.

Step 3: Divide the sum of the two highest quarters from Step 2 by 30 (the number of weeks in the combined quarters)

$18,840 ÷ 26 = $724.61

In this example, $724.61 is your average weekly wage.

Note: If you worked 2 or fewer quarters, divide the highest quarter by 13 weeks to determine your average weekly wage.

Step 4: Divide your weekly wage from Step 3 in half to determine your weekly benefit amount.

$724.61 ÷ 2 = $362.30, rounded to the nearest dollar = $362

In this example, $362 is your weekly benefit amount.

The total amount of UI benefits you can receive in your benefit year is called your maximum benefit credit. Your maximum benefit credit is calculated as the lesser of either:

30 times your weekly benefit amount, or

36% of the total wages in your base period

The following example shows how to determine your maximum benefit credit.

Example

If your weekly benefit amount is $362, multiply this number by 30:
$362.30 x 30= $10,860

To calculate 36% of the total wages in your base period, add your wages earned from each quarter during your base period:
$7,800 + $7,800 + $8,840 + 10,000 = $34,400 (total wages)

If your total wages are $34,400, multiply this number by 0.36 (36%): $34,440 x 0.36 = $12,398

Since $10,860 is less than $12,398, your maximum benefit credit would be $10,860.

The number of weeks you are eligible to receive UI benefits is called your duration of benefits. Your duration of benefits is calculated by dividing your maximum benefit credit by your weekly benefit amount.

The maximum number of weeks you can receive full unemployment benefits is 30 weeks (capped at 26 weeks during periods of extended benefits and low unemployment). However, many individuals qualify for less than 30 weeks of coverage.

The following examples show how to determine your duration of benefits.

Example 1

Your maximum benefit credit is $10,860 and your weekly benefit amount is $362.
$10,860 ÷ $362 = 30 weeks
In this example, you would be eligible to receive $362 for 30 weeks.

Example 2

Your maximum benefit credit is $8,688 and your weekly benefit amount is $362.
$8,688 ÷ $362 = 24 weeks
In this example, you would be eligible to receive $362 for 24 weeks.

If you are the whole or main support of a child, you may be eligible for a weekly dependency allowance of $25 per dependent child. Spouses are not included.

The total dependency allowance you receive cannot be more than 50% of your weekly benefit amount. You may be eligible for the dependency allowance if you are the main support for any child who is:

Under the age of 18

Under the age of 24 and a full-time student at an educational institution

Over the age of 18 and incapacitated due to a mental or physical disability

To be eligible for unemployment insurance benefits, you must have had enough earnings as an employee in the four calendar quarters before you applied for benefits. In Massachusetts, with just a few exceptions,the law assumes that any worker who provided services for an employer was an employee, and that the pay they received should count toward their eligibility for unemployment benefits.

Your status as an employee does not depend on whether your employer tells you that you are an employee or independent contractor, reports your income on a 1099 tax form instead of a W-2, pays you in cash, or tells you that you are not eligible for unemployment insurance or other benefits. If your employer believes you are not an employee, they must prove that to DUA.

Until and unless your employer can prove to DUA all three factorsin the test described below, youare assumed to be their employee, and should file an application for unemployment benefits if you lost work or had your hours reduced. You may submit your application on UI Online, or call DUA at (617) 626-6800 for assistance filing an application.

An employer who wants to treat someone as an independent contractor rather than employee for purposes of unemployment insurance must prove to DUA that the claimant's work:

Is done without the direction and control of the employer, both in their contract and in practice; and

Is performed either outside the usual course of the employer's business or outside all of the employer's places of business; and

Is being done by someone who has their own independent business or trade doing that kind of work.

DUA must decide that the employer proved all three factors of this test for your wages from that employer to be excluded from your unemployment claim. If DUA determines your employer can treat you as an independent contractor, you will have the right to appeal, and should carefully review the notice of your decision for instructions on how to file your appeal.

When your employer improperly treats you as an independent contractor, rather than an employee, they might not report your wage information to DUA as required. As a result, when you file a claim for unemployment benefits, your initial monetary determination may not reflect all of your wages or employment information. This may lead to a disqualification notice saying you do not have enough wages on file to qualify for unemployment benefits, or you may receive a lower weekly benefit amount.

When you receive a monetary determination from DUA, review the wage and employer information included on page two of the notice carefully. If you believe any wage or employer information is missing or incorrect, please call DUA at (617) 626-6800 for assistance correcting this information.

If you have evidence of the pay you received from an employer that you worked for during your base period that is not listed on your monetary determination, or of pay you received that is not accurately reported on your monetary determination, please have that ready to provide to DUA. Evidence might include paystubs, tax forms (whether W-2 or 1099 forms), or bank statements showing pay deposits. You may follow the instructions on your notice to send copies of this evidence to DUA along with a wage and employer correction form and to appeal your monetary determination.

Once DUA corrects your wage and/or employer information, it may then reconsider your monetary determination and you may be found eligible for benefits, or to receive a higher weekly benefit amount.

Resigning might feel like a good option if you're being treated badly at work. However, it's a big step and it's important to think about all your options first. You could try to solve the problem a different way or find another job before resigning. If you decide to resign, there are steps you should follow to do it properly.

Check if there's another way to solve the problem

It's worth thinking about whether you'd want to stay in your job if the problem was solved. You might be able to get your employer to put things right without having to resign.

You could try:

talking to your employer about the problem

asking your trade union to talk to your employer for you, if you're a member

raising a grievance - this is a formal complaint which your employer can't ignore

asking your employer if they'll arrange mediation - this is where someone else tries to help you agree

starting early conciliation to solve the problem without going to court

Find out what to do next if you think you could try other options before resigning.

If you're thinking about resigning because you're being treated badly, keep a diary of what's happening. This will give you useful evidence if you later decide to make a claim against your employer.

See if you can find a new job

If you don't want to find a way to stay in your job, it's often easier to find a new job before leaving your old one.

This could mean you won't lose income or have to worry about claiming benefits. You wouldn't have to answer difficult questions from a new employer about why you resigned without another job to go to.

If you still want to resign

If you haven't got another job to go to, you should work out your budget. This will tell you how long you'll be able to manage for before you find another job. If it's not for very long, it could be better to wait a bit longer before you resign.

If you or your partner get any benefits, check if stopping work will affect them. For example, you could get less Universal Credit for 3 months or longer if the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) says you didn't have a good reason for resigning. This is called a sanction.

Contact your nearest Citizens Advice if you need to work out how your benefits might change.

If you don't have another job to go to, you can claim benefits straight away.
You can claim benefits as soon as you know the date you're stopping work. You'll need to show you had a good reason for resigning, or you might get less money for around 3 months. This is called a sanction.

You should also check what other benefits you could get.

There are some extra things you should think about before deciding to resign, depending on your situation.

you're being repeatedly bullied by your colleagues or employer

you're frightened to go into work

you don't feel safe at work

How to resign

If you're sure you want to resign, follow these steps to stand the best chance of getting a good reference and being paid everything you're owed.

Check how much notice you need to give your employer

You should be able to find how much notice you need to give in your contract or staff handbook. If it doesn't say anything, you'll still need to give a minimum amount of notice - you can check your notice period and find out what to do if you want to give less notice.

Give your employer notice in writing

You could write a letter or an email, so you'll have a record of when and how you resigned.

It should say:

how much notice you're giving

when your last day will be

You don't have to give a reason for your resignation. However, if you're resigning because of something your employer did, you should say this in the letter. This will give you evidence if you decide to take legal action against them.

Check your holiday pay entitlement

If you haven't taken all the holiday you're entitled to, ask your employer if you need to take it during your notice period or if you can be paid for it.

If you've taken more holiday than you're entitled to, your employer might take money from your final pay.

You can check whether you're owed any holiday.

Check your final payslip

Make sure you've been paid for everything you were expecting, including any bonus or commission you were entitled to. If not, tell your employer.

If your employer won't pay, you can take steps to get the money you're owed. If you've got home or car insurance you might be able to get free legal advice through your policy - check your insurance paperwork for details.

If you were in a workplace pension scheme, remember to keep a record of the details.

The number of people at work is generally closely related to whether an economy is growing at a reasonable rate
At the peak of the worldwide recession that began in 2008, the International Labor Office announced that global unemployment reached the highest level on record. More than 200 million people, 7 percent of the global workforce, were looking for jobs in 2009.

It is not a coincidence that the global economy experienced the most severe case of unemployment during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Unemployment is highly dependent on economic activity; in fact, growth and unemployment can be thought of as two sides of the same coin: when economic activity is high, more production happens overall, and more people are needed to produce the higher amount of goods and services. And when economic activity is low, firms reduce their workforce and unemployment rises. In that sense, unemployment is countercyclical, meaning it rises when economic growth is low and vice versa.

But unemployment does not fall in lockstep with an increase in growth. It is more common for businesses to first try to recover from a downturn by having the same number of employees do more work or turn out more products-that is, to increase their productivity. Only as the recovery takes hold are businesses likely to add workers. As a consequence, unemployment may start to come down only well after an economic recovery begins. The phenomenon works in reverse at the start of a downturn, when firms would rather reduce work hours, or impose some pay cuts before they let workers go. Unemployment starts rising only when the downturn is prolonged. Because unemployment follows growth with a delay, it is considered a lagging indicator of economic activity.

How sensitive is the unemployment rate to economic growth? That depends on several factors, most notably on labor market conditions and regulations. One estimate of the strength of this relationship for the U.S. economy comes from Okun's Law (named after the late U.S. economist Arthur Okun), which postulates that a decline in unemployment by 1 percentage point corresponds to a 3 percent rise in output. More recent estimates find that the consequent rise in output may be lower, possibly between 2 and 3 percent.

How far does this inverse relationship between growth and unemployment go? If economies kept expanding, would one expect to see unemployment disappear altogether? Actually this is not the case (see chart); even in the 2000s, when the global economy was prospering (at least until the crisis), global unemployment declined but never reached zero. This observation raises the question, why can unemployment never fall to zero?

Clearing the market

According to classical economic theory, every market, including the labor market, should have a point at which it clears-where supply and demand are equal. Yet the very existence of unemployment seems to imply that in labor markets around the world, the demand for and supply of labor fail to reach an equilibrium. Do labor markets continually fail?

Sometimes it is a matter of wages, or the unit price of labor, not adjusting to clear the market. Some workers, particularly skilled ones, may have reservation wages below which they are not willing to work, but which are higher than what employers are willing to pay. Alternatively, the wage an employer is willing to pay may be lower than the legal minimum wage set by governments to try to ensure that wages can sustain a living. When such rigidities in the labor market lead to a shortage of jobs, it creates structural unemployment, and those who are structurally unemployed tend to have longer spells of joblessness, on average.

But the inflexibility of wages does not fully explain the perennial nature of unemployment. Some level of unemployment will always exist for no other reason than that there always will be some people who are between jobs or just starting out their careers. These people are unemployed not because there is a shortage of jobs in the market, but because finding a job takes time. Such temporary spells of unemployment are referred to as frictional unemployment.

The combination of these factors brings about a long-term average around which the unemployment rate tends to fluctuate, called the natural rate of unemployment (NRU). The term "natural" does not mean it is a given that cannot be changed; to the contrary, it implies that labor market characteristics, which are mostly driven by policies, determine it. For example, the relatively high rate of unemployment in Europe compared with the United States is in part attributed to Europe's stronger unions and stricter labor regulations. These labor market institutions may give European workers a better bargaining position, but they can also render workers too expensive for employers. In the United States, unionization is lower and labor markets are more flexible, but workers have traditionally enjoyed higher employment rates than their European counterparts.

The natural rate of unemployment is sometimes called the nonaccelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU), because it is consistent with an economy that is growing at its long-term potential, so there is no upward or downward pressure on inflation. The flip side of this argument suggests that whenever unemployment temporarily deviates from the NAIRU, inflation is affected. Consider a recession, a period of low economic activity. With lower demand for goods and services, firms start laying off workers and at the same time refrain from raising prices. So unemployment rises and inflation falls during recessions. This trade-off between unemployment and inflation-described by the Phillips curve (named after the late New Zealand economist William Phillips)-is only temporary, though; once prices adjust to a new equilibrium that clears the goods and services market, firms go back to producing at full capacity and unemployment once again falls-to the NAIRU.

Understanding what is behind the long-term equilibrium rate of unemployment helps policymakers understand how they can, and cannot, change it. For example, policies that try to lower unemployment by boosting consumer demand (thereby raising production) can do so only temporarily, and at the cost of higher inflation later. However, policies that are geared toward easing frictional or structural unemployment can boost employment without necessarily affecting inflation.

But the NAIRU can also change over time without any explicit policy action: structural changes such as technological advances and demographic shifts can have long-lasting effects on unemployment trends. For example, many economists agree that the technology boom of the 1990s increased labor productivity, making each worker more "desirable" to employers, and has therefore reduced the NAIRU-although there was an initial blip of unemployment as workers untrained in the technologies were displaced. A rapidly aging population-as is occurring in many advanced economies today-also countributes to fewer people in the job market and lower unemployment.

Measuring unemployment

Not all people who don't work are unemployed. To be considered unemployed for government statistics, a person must not only be out of work, but also be actively looking for a job-for example, by sending out resumes. In the United States unemployment is measured by a monthly survey of households conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and covers a representative sample of more than 100,000 individuals. The labor force includes both those with jobs and those looking for them. The unemployment rate is the percentage of the labor force that is looking for a job. The labor force is only a portion of the total population. The ratio of the labor force to the working-age population is called the labor force participation rate.

The labor force excludes people who are of working age but are neither employed nor looking for a job-such as students and homemakers. But the labor force also leaves out jobless people who were in the job market unsuccessfully for so long that they stopped looking for a job. Such discouraged workers are one reason why unemployment statistics can underestimate the true demand for jobs in an economy. Another form of hidden unemployment in statistics comes from counting as employed anyone who did any work for pay (or profit, if self-employed) in the week before the government survey. This hides the demand for work by people who would prefer full-time employment but cannot find it.
