Need help with Health Insurance?
The Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance provides health insurance assistance through The Medical Security Program (MSP) for residents of the Commonwealth who are receiving unemployment insurance benefits, by providing assistance with the cost of existing health insurance premiums or by covering the cost of actual medical expenses.

If you are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits in Massachusetts, you should find out if you and your family (spouse, any children up to their 26th birthday or disabled children regardless of age) may also be eligible for health insurance coverage under the Medical Security Program (MSP) by calling the Program at 1-800-908-8801.

ENROLLMENT IN THE MSP IS NOT AUTOMATIC. YOU MUST APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM.
