To all those having trouble reaching a human at Massachusetts Unemployment. I just ran across this video that gave me a shortcut to reach a human. Hope it helps! https://youtu.be/ok4BhTU0_EI
From what I understand, Massachusetts typically allows backdating unemployment claims up to one year from the date you file, but there have been some special provisions during the pandemic. The specific deadline can vary depending on your situation and when you initially became unemployed. I'd recommend calling the DUA directly at (877) 626-6800 to get the most accurate information for your specific case, as they can review your eligibility and let you know exactly how far back you can your claim.
This is really helpful advice! I'm in a similar situation and wasn't sure about the backdating rules. Has anyone here actually been successful calling that number recently? I've been trying for weeks but keep getting busy signals or long hold times. Also wondering if there are specific documents I should have ready when I do get through to make the process smoother.
