Massachusetts Unemployment Law Under Debate in Legislature
Massachusetts Council on Employment Security urges reform of the unemployment insurance system. Senate Bill 251 would raise benefits to 50 percent of prior wages with a $7–$25 weekly range, add penalties for false claims, and maintain employer experience ratings to reward steady employment. The aim is to curb loafing and preserve a functioning safety net for workers who want to work.
