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.
