How many weeks worked to qualify for benefits?
Hello
I was on unemployment for 99 weeks which ended in September last year and i was able to get a job February 1, 2011 and i just found out today that layoffs start next week..I have worked for 14 weeks here in Massachusetts and was wondering if i would qualify for benefits and for how long?
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!
Thanks

1st off sorry to hear about your situation that's horrible after already being a 99er.

Thank you for the responses
However i have made well over $3500 in the past 14 weeks but it does not say how long i can collect for..My gross pay was $1,000 a week for the past 14 weeks and it says i would get 1/2 of gross amount which would be $500 but i am not sure for how many weeks i would be able to get that seeing i only worked for 14 weeks...
