AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Section 30(c) of Chapter 151A of the General Laws, which pertains to unemployment compensation. Specifically, it aims to change the "fifteenth" day to the "twentieth" day in two instances within the law, and also changes the number "15" to "20" in one instance, likely referring to a timeframe for certain unemployment benefits or processes. Additionally, the bill seeks to insert language that allows for the waiver of applications under specific circumstances if there is "good cause," indicating a potential expansion of flexibility in the application process for unemployment benefits.
