Can you get unemployment if you get fired in Massachusetts?

Answer 1

The question is how many times did you call out? If this was a single occurence then the department of unemployment will likely see the termination as unreasonable and grant you unemployment. If however it was several occasions and a violation of the company's attendance policy it may be a little more difficult to collect but you would need to file the claim and see what happens.

Answer 2

You are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits if you meet these requirements:

You lost your job through no fault of your own. This could happen if:

• you were laid off because of lack of work
• your hours were cut back because of lack of work
• you were fired without good cause
• you quit your job with good cause, for example, unhealthy or dangerous working conditions
• you had to leave your job because of domestic violence
• you were forced to quit your job because of a very important personal reason

You are not eligible for benefits if:

• You quit your job without good cause, for example, if you quit because you did not get along with your co-workers or you didn't like your job.

• You were fired from your job with good cause, for example, if you were fired because you did something wrong on purpose.

• You lost your job because you were convicted of a felony or misdemeanor.

• You are not looking for a new job.

• You did not earn at least $3000 during your base period.
