The real questions in the end are:
Exactly where will these funds go?
Who will have direct access to these funds?
Will they be accessible for use / movement for the state's "rainy-day, wet-dream project" fund?
Exactly how many hoops will you, the lowly worker, have to jump through to apply for the funds you paid into?
Will illegal immigrants be eligible for receipt of these funds WITHOUT paying into the fund (JUST LIKE WELFARE)???
Inquiring workers want to know....

You can read the law. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/wh...r-the-pfml-law. I don't really understand the illegal immigrant thing though. Seems like a red herring. If they work, they will pay in. If they don't work they can't get paid medical leave from a job they don't have.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Maybe as the law is written now, but no one can say (with a straight face) that the Democrats won't make a plea that welfare recipients (legal or otherwise) shouldn't be denied this benefit simple because they are legal citizens. Hell, it worked so well for the welfare system, why not???   |

I guess I just don't understand what you are saying. This is a program for employees to take time off of work for unusual circumstances. I have no idea how that connects to whether someone is a welfare recipient or not. Most "welfare" recipients do work... so if they work I imagine they are eligible like all other workers. If they don't work, there is no work to take time off from so...
