My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Massachusetts
Hi everyone. Thanks in advance for the help.
Here's my situation: I was laid off effective Feb-21, and filed for unemployment over the phone the same day. I've since received paperwork indicating my application was accepted along with info for making weekly filings over the phone.
In the following weeks I applied at well over the minimum number of positions per week and kept a log. Many of those turned into phone interviews, a few into on-site interviews around the country. After a lot of traveling I signed a W-2 for a position that starts Apr-11.
My problem is that I wasn't making weekly filings during that time. Are is backfiling for those weeks possible? What kind of documentation is required? And what are the potential problems?
Bonus points question; are there issues in continuing to file in the period between now (Mar-20) and my start date? Do I need to continue actively looking for other jobs during that time to continue filing even though I've accepted a position and signed a W-2?
Thanks!
