Am I eligible for Unemployment Benefits in Ma?

Will I be entitled to Unemployment Benefits in Ma?

  • was terminated for takin care of an ill relative (In im Ma BTW) I had called in for several days to take care of an ill relative (cancer), my boss was ok with it and understood my situation. I needed to take extra time to remain caring for the relative and takin care of her daughters. My boss asked me if I could come back on day 5, I explained I could not, I needed to take care of my sister and her kids ( we lost our parents a while back and only have each other). I had never missed any time in the year I was there, was top sales person and never strayed from the handbook at all. He terminated me for personal issues. He had explained that he understood that my family was more important, and good luck with everything. Will I be entitled to unemployment benfits

I'm surprised you were not eligible for FMLA - if there were 50+ employees there it might have applied to you. In any event, apply for UI and see what happens. If your boss doesn't object, then you will probably get approved.

If you are not eligible for FML and the company doe snot have a non fml leave policy then YES, they can let you go. You can try for UI benefits as it is up to the State to listen to both sides and make a determination.
