..."Dear Combined Wage Claimant:
The US Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration amended the regulations governing combined wage claims filed under the Federal-State Unemployment Compensation Program.
Beginning January 6, 2009, the definition of "Paying State", when filing a Combined Wage Claim, has been changed...
...this means, effective January 6, 2009 onward, that in order to file a Combined Wage Claim, you must have had employment and earned wages in the paying state's base period.
This notice is to inform you that for new claims effective January 11, 2009 and after, you cannot file a Combined Wage Claim with Massachusetts as the "Paying State" unless you had employment and earned wages in Massachusetts during the base period (the four completed calender quarters prior to filing), regardless of whether you traveled to be physically present here.
Since this is a US Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration ruling, all States must follow this amendment."
