Employees of this business or organization are covered by Unemployment Insurance (UI), a program financed entirely by 
Massachusetts employers. No deductions are made from your salary to cover the cost of your Unemployment Insurance benefits.
If you lose your job, you may be entitled to collect Unemployment Insurance. Outlined below is the information you need in order 
to apply for Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefits. Before you file, your employer will give you a copy of the pamphlet: How to 
Apply for Unemployment Insurance Benefits, provided by the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA). 
You must be in the United States, its territories, or Canada when filing a claim or certifying for weekly UI benefits. 
IMPORTANT: Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 151A, Section 62A requires that this notice be displayed at each site operated by an 
employer, in a conspicuous place, where it is accessible to all employees. It must include the name and mailing address of the employer, and 
the identification number assigned to the employer by the Department of Unemployment Assistance .
There are two ways to apply for UI Benefits:
 Apply by Using UI Online
  UI Online is a secure, easy-to-use, self-service system. You can apply for benefits, reopen an existing claim, 
request weekly benefit payments, check your claim status, sign up for direct deposit, update your address, 
and even file an appeal online. To apply for benefits using UI Online, go to www.mass.gov/dua, and select  
UI Online for Claimants, and complete the required information to submit your application.
