Any employer with at least 50 employees, who is laying off at least 15 employees, is encouraged to file a claim on behalf of their employees through the Mass Electronic Claim (E-Claims) process.

Please find below the most up-to-date information and instructions regarding employers filing E-Claims.

Please note that the “return to work date within 4 weeks” requirement is temporarily suspended. Due to the current situation, we are allowing employers to file for the employees even if the layoff may extend beyond that time period.
