An Act relative to unemployment insurance

This bill amends Massachusetts unemployment insurance rules to adjust eligibility and coverage requirements. It changes the base period wage requirement so workers must have earned wages in at least two quarters (instead of the full period) equaling 30 times their weekly benefit rate. It also raises the employee threshold for mandatory coverage from 25 to 50 employees and clarifies that employers of covered entities (like government agencies) don't count toward this employee total. These changes directly affect workers seeking benefits and employers required to provide unemployment insurance coverage.
