Unemployment Services for Employers Resources Page

As of May 6, 2025, the Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) has fully transitioned to the Unemployment Services for Employers system. This new system replaces UI Online and is now your one-stop shop to manage both tax-and benefit related activates.

This page has important details about the updated Unemployment Services for Employers system. If you want general information about how the new system works, here is everything you need to know about Unemployment Services.

Individual access

Unemployment Services for Employers now requires each individual within an organization to have their own MyMassGov account, meaning account sharing is no longer allowed. Register for a MyMassGov business account to start representing your business. 

Responding to claims

You no longer will receive fact-finding forms by mail. All responses must be submitted online through Unemployment Services for Employers.

  • Hearings scheduled in UI Online will continue as planned in Unemployment Services.
