Bill Summary
Relative to establishing willingness to work requirements for eligibility of unemployment benefits. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to establish a "willingness to work" requirement for eligibility of unemployment benefits in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would require individuals to be willing to accept a job offer that is reasonably similar to their previous position, that they are capable of performing, and that does not conflict with any medical restrictions. This new subsection would be added to the existing laws governing unemployment benefits in the state.
