Wow. That’s actually quite a bit. More then working full time in some cases. No wonder some say screw it.
Unemployment is based off what you’ve made in the last year.
Your check is a percentage of your average income.
60-70% IIRC, up to the max.
Yeah, if you’re maxed in Mass. and have finances in order, your not going to be pushing hard to return to work right away.
Especially if you’re collecting from Mass but living somewhere else, less expensive.
