MA Unemployment Benefits cut with Social Security?

Will Massachusetts reduce my unemployment benefits when I start to collect social security next month?

Editor's Response

Not anymore.  Massachusetts used to have an 'offset' provision that reduced unemployment benefits by up to 50% for those collecting social security.  However, in 2006, Governor Romney signed a bill eliminating the penalty.  For more information or to post a question, visit our MA Elder Law Discussion Forum.
