    Default Unemployment Insurance Eligibility

    My question involves unemployment benefits for the state of: Massachusetts.

    Hi,

    I read the Massachusetts Law Chapter 151A, section 25 regarding the disqualification of employment insurance. It says: "No disqualification shall be imposed if such individual establishes to the satisfaction of the commissioner that he left his employment IN GOOD FAITH to accept new employment on a permanent full-time basis, and that he became separated from such new employment for good cause attributable to the new employing unit."

    can you epxlaine what leaving employment in good faith mean? And what the whole paragraph means?

    Thank you,

    Tampa

    Good faith. The statute means what it says - but a simplified version would be that you sincerely thought you had a new full time job, left the old one, and through no fault of your own the new employer revoked the offer and you could not continue or return to your former employment.
