AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the unemployment insurance laws in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would change the eligibility requirements for unemployment benefits by requiring that claimants have been paid wages in at least two quarters of the base period, rather than the current requirement of having been paid wages in the base period amounting to at least thirty times the weekly benefit rate. This change aims to make it easier for individuals to qualify for unemployment benefits.
