AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the unemployment insurance law in Massachusetts. Specifically, it changes the requirement for receiving unemployment benefits from having been paid wages in the entire base period (usually the last 12-15 months) to having been paid wages in at least two quarters of the base period. This change is intended to make it easier for workers to qualify for unemployment benefits, particularly those who may have had intermittent or seasonal employment during the base period.
