An Act relative to municipal unemployment insurance reform
This bill modifies Massachusetts unemployment insurance rules for two specific groups. It prohibits unemployment benefits for municipal employees providing services to educational institutions (like school staff working for towns). Additionally, it reduces unemployment benefits by 65% for individuals receiving pensions from their previous employer (based on their prior work with that employer), but only if they worked at least 75% of their service years for that employer and the reduction aligns with federal tax rules. Social Security payments are exempt from this reduction. The changes directly affect municipal workers in education and those receiving pensions who file for unemployment.
