My MA unemployment claim has just been denied and I'm not sure I unerstand why. I was not renewed by the school I worked for last year and my contract ended June 30, 2009. I filed for unemployment and was told that as long as I don't have reasonable assurance, I would be able to collect. In the meantime, I have been teaching summer school making less than I am allowed by unemployment.

Unemployment has denied my claim stating that MA teachers cannot collect unemployment during the summer months or school vacation weeks, even though I do not have another job in September. Has anyone had any experience with this that can please help me try to understand the law, or tell me what to do?
