A) Yes, you can file your unemployment claim in person at a local Unemployment Insurance (UI) Walk-in Center in Massachusetts. However, it’s important to note that filing online is generally the quickest and easiest way to apply for unemployment benefits in Massachusetts.
Here’s a breakdown of your options:
Filing online:
- Advantages: Faster processing time, available 24/7, no need to travel.
- Disadvantages: May require creating an account and navigating an online system.
Filing in person:
- Advantages: May be helpful if you have difficulty navigating the online system or need assistance from a representative.
- Disadvantages: Longer wait times, limited office hours, potential travel time.
