1 There are several genetic causes of dystonia. 2  Some forms appear to be inherited in a dominant manner, which means only one parent who carries the defective gene is needed to pass the disorder to their child. 3  Each child of a parent having the abnormal gene will have a 50 percent chance of carrying the defective gene. DYT1 dystonia is a rare form of dominantly inherited generalized dystonia that can be caused by a mutation in the DYT1 gene. 2  This form of dystonia typically begins in childhood, affects the limbs first, and progresses, often causing significant disability.
Example 2: An individual who is entitled to a maximum 26-week claim (because he worked at least 26 or more weeks during the base year period) at a Weekly Benefit Rate of $300 will have a Maximum Benefit Amount of $7,800. Your unemployment claim will be in effect for approximately one year from the date of your claim.
The current maximum benefit rate is $722 a week (effective October 4, 2015). The duration of benefits-the maximum number of weeks you would be able to collect benefits-is determined by the total amount of your wages paid and the amount of your benefit rate. The maximum number of weeks a claimant can collect full benefits is 30 weeks. Under Massachusetts law, regular benefits are capped at 26 weeks (instead of the maximum of 30 weeks) whenever there is a program of extended benefits. However, many individuals qualify for less than the maximum weeks of coverage.
