In October, the maximum weekly benefit amount for unemployment recipients increased to $1,105 a week in Massachusetts because it is indexed to the state average weekly wage. This latest change comes on the heels of a unique Massachusetts law being triggered allowing beneficiaries to collect 30-weeks of unemployment, the longest duration in the nation.
