Massachusetts Unemployment Checklist: Weekly Work Search Rules, Excel Log and Documents to Gather
Massachusetts's weekly work search rules from Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA)'s own pages, in one checklist: provide proof of at least 3 job search activities each week; report: when you request benefits each week in Unemployment Services for Workers (or by TeleCert phone line), answer the questions about your week and provide proof of your work search activities; records: keep a written record in case staff need to verify it. The page doesn't give a period.

Who it is for
People claiming unemployment in Massachusetts who need to keep a weekly work search record for Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA), and family members helping them stay organized.
Not the right fit if
You claim unemployment in a state other than Massachusetts, or you need help with a denied claim or an appeal: this organizes the weekly work search record and doesn't advise on eligibility.
Why it is different
- Built only from our Massachusetts work search data file, checked November 2026 against 1 official page: Mass.gov: Weekly requirements to get unemployment assistance.
- 4 items the official pages didn't state are printed as "Not confirmed — check" with the agency's page, never guessed.
- The Excel summary flags any week with fewer than 3 logged activities, recalculating with zero formula errors.
What is inside
- Massachusetts weekly work search log (Excel). A log with the columns Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) asks for (Date, Activity), a weekly summary that counts your activities against Massachusetts's 3 per week and a documents checklist.
- Start here: Massachusetts filing and work search steps. The 7 facts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA)'s pages confirm, each with its source and check date, and 4 marked "Not confirmed — check": official list of activities, job bank registration, who may not have to search, how the week is counted. The weekly requirement, in the agency's words: Provide proof of at least 3 job search activities each week. How to report: When you request benefits each week in Unemployment Services for Workers (or by TeleCert phone line), answer the questions about your week and provide proof of your work search activities. Activities Massachusetts counts: submitting an application, résumé or letter of interest through an employer or an employment website; in-person visits with employers who might be hiring; job fairs, networking events and employment workshops (private or MassHire Career Center); interviewing with potential employers in person, by phone or online; registering for work with private employment agencies or placement services. Records: Keep a written record in case staff need to verify it. The page doesn't give a period.
- Documents to gather. A checklist of the papers a claim usually asks for (IDs, employer names and dates, pay records, separation papers), with space for anything Massachusetts's application adds.
- Printable weekly work search log. A paper version of the log with Massachusetts's columns, one week per page, for claimants who prefer to write it down.
