Can I Collect Unemployment In Massachusetts If They Move?

Question

My company that i have been working for 10 years is up and moving 70 miles away in the next 5 weeks. I cannot afford to go with them but they did offer me to keep my job.

Am i able to collect unemployment if i can't afford to make the move with them? I can't find the laws in Mass. if anyone knows a link? Thanks!

Answer 1

I don't think you can collect unemployment if you quit, only if you get terminated.  

Answer 2

Here's the link. My suggestion, apply and see what happens. or call them.

Answer 3

This is normally an acceptable reason for getting benefits. Many companies that are moving offer current employees a job, just to keep qualified workers.
