Or is it a seamless procedure? I live in MA.

From what I understand, a new claim can only be opened when you've earned enough wages to qualify for it.
In MA the amount is $3,500 in a base period or 30 times your weekly benefit amount, in California its $1300. If you haven't earned sufficient wages to qualify for a new claim, they will move you on to the next tier or continue on with the original claim.
In California, as long as you are unemployed and collecting benefits, the process is seemless.
