352-MNDD-PJ97 (Oct. 20, 2025) – Even though the claimant is eligible for benefits, the employer’s account will not be charged in this case for two reasons. Because the claimant separated due to urgent, compelling, and necessitous reasons, DUA will charge the solvency account pursuant to G.L. c. 151A, § 14(d)(3). Also, the employer was not an interested party, as the claimant separated from the employer more than eight weeks prior to the effective date of her claim.

0083 9588 17 (Mar. 7, 2025) – Although the claimant’s layoff entitled him to benefits, the employer’s account will not be charged, because the claimant subsequently had at least eight weeks of work for another employer prior to filing his claim.

0079 0619 79 (Sept. 29, 2023) – Wages and remuneration are not the same under G.L. c. 151A. Because the DUA must account for all remuneration paid to individuals performing services for a farm business, wages paid to the sole proprietor’s husband and daughter are material to the analysis under G.L. c. 151A, § 8A(b). Inasmuch as the employing unit paid more than $40,000 in remuneration during the 3rd quarter of 2022, it is subject to G.L. c. 151A.
