Bill > H1759

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 151A of the General Laws, specifically Section 25, which deals with unemployment insurance benefits. The key provision is the addition of a new subsection (l) that would disqualify individuals from receiving unemployment benefits if they leave the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for more than two consecutive weeks, unless the travel is due to a necessity or emergency. This change aims to prevent people from collecting unemployment benefits while voluntarily being out of state for extended periods, thereby ensuring that these benefits are available for those actively seeking work within the state.
