Hi,
The person in question is a Massachusetts resident who has been approved for receiving 6 months of unemployment benefits starting in December 2018.
She has been receiving benefits for over a month but she found out that she must travel abroad for two weeks for family reasons in February 2019.
Q1 - Can she stop collecting benefits on uionline.detma.org for these weeks and restart collecting when she gets back?
Q2 - If so, are these two weeks lost or can she claim benefits for two more weeks past the date when benefits would have ran out without any travel time?
