Mass. unemployment benefits to vanish for 6,500
Boston Business Journal - by Kyle Alspach
Date: Monday, June 20, 2011, 2:46pm EDT
Massachusetts residents who've been unemployed longer than 86 weeks will no
longer be eligible for jobless benefits starting July 9, as a result of the
state's falling unemployment rate.
The change will lead to the loss of benefits for 6,500 unemployed residents
as of that date, according to the state workforce office. Another 13,500
residents are within 13 weeks of the cutoff — meaning that more residents
could be impacted soon if they're unable to find jobs.
Currently, residents can receive 93 weeks of unemployment benefits in total,
which includes both state and federal unemployment benefits.
But because the state's three-month unemployment average has fallen below 8
percent, the federal "extended benefits" portion has been reduced by seven
weeks, the state workforce office said Monday. The office said last Thursday
that the state unemployment rate has fallen to 7.6 percent, bringing the
state's three-month average to 7.8 percent.
Unemployment benefits in Massachusetts currently include 26 weeks of state
benefits, 47 weeks of federal emergency unemployment compensation benefits,
and an additional 20 weeks of extended benefits, said state unemployment
division director Judith Cicatiello. The extended benefits portion is
dropping to 13 weeks from 20 weeks, starting July 9.
A total of 185,000 Massachusetts residents are currently collecting weekly
unemployment benefits. Cicatiello said her office is looking to determine
how the benefits would be impacted by further drops in the unemployment
rate.
