Please be aware of this newly announced resource and share through your own networks:
The Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) application is now available (as of Monday, 4/20/20). This is targeted to provide assistance for gig workers, self-employed, religious workers, people seeking part-time work, and others not eligible for regular unemployment assistance. Go to www.mass.gov/pua to learn how to apply, to review the eligibility and documentation checklists and to access the application.
The Department of Unemployment Assistance call center phone at 877-626-6800 is also available for phone PUA applications for those without access to the internet or computer.
A huge thanks to all our Mass Hires for providing such critical assistance during this time.
