An Act waiving the requirement for on call fire fighters to disclose stipends as income

This bill modifies Massachusetts law to exempt on-call town firefighters from reporting their stipends as income when applying for unemployment benefits. It clarifies that firefighters receiving these stipends remain eligible for unemployment compensation without needing to disclose the payments. The provision directly affects volunteer firefighters who earn small stipends for their service. The change removes a specific administrative requirement under unemployment law, ensuring these workers' eligibility is not impacted by their stipend income.
