An Act relative to municipal unemployment insurance reform

This bill modifies Massachusetts unemployment insurance rules for municipal employees. It specifically prevents municipal workers providing services to educational institutions from receiving unemployment benefits under certain circumstances (Section 1). Additionally, it requires a 65% reduction in unemployment benefits for individuals receiving a pension or retirement payment from a defined benefit plan based on their prior work with the separating employer, but only if that employer provided at least 75% of the service used for the pension (Section 2). These changes directly affect municipal employees and individuals receiving pensions while claiming unemployment benefits.
