MA S1359

Municipal employees providing services to or on behalf of educational institutions would be denied unemployment benefits during school breaks and summer periods, similar to restrictions already applied to other educational institution employees

Unemployment benefits would be reduced by 65% of any defined benefit pension payments an individual receives from a former employer while collecting unemployment

The pension offset applies only when the separating or base period employer employed the individual for at least 75% of their total length of service on which the pension is based

Social Security payments are explicitly exempted from the pension offset provision
