Massachusetts has announced special unemployment assistance handling for areas affected by the flooding. Application must be made between March 14th, 2010 and May 3, 2010. This applies to self-employed individuals also.
Examples of reasons for unemployment that may make a person eligible to receive Disaster Unemployment Assistance:
* You were injured in the disaster and are unable to work, whether you are an employee or self-employed.
* Your workplace was damaged, destroyed, or you can't work because of the disaster.
* Your transportation to work is not available because of the disaster.
* You can't get to your job because you must travel through the affected area, and you cannot do that because of the disaster.
* You were about to begin working, but could not because of the disaster.
* You are now the breadwinner or major support for a household because the former head of household died in the disaster.
* You are out of work because the Federal government took over or closed the facility where you worked.
* You derived most of your income from areas affected by the disaster, whether working for yourself or for an employer.
