AI Summary

This bill proposes changes to the municipal unemployment insurance system in Massachusetts. It amends the state's unemployment insurance law to: 1) prevent unemployment benefits from being paid to individuals who previously provided services to or on behalf of an educational institution, under certain circumstances; and 2) reduce the unemployment benefits paid to individuals who are also receiving a pension, retirement, or other similar payment from their previous employer, if that employer provided at least 75% of the individual's total length of service that the defined benefit plan is based on. Payments received under the Social Security Act are exempt from this reduction.
