You don't have to live in the state you file the claim in. That state gets it's money from the other states you worked in. You do have to file your first claim in MA in person in order to prevent identity fraud. you get another $25/wk for dependent children. You could file the same claim in Florida and they would pay you $275/wk. Check your neighboring states for their benefits and then decide where to file.
