Click on the case numbers below to access decisions pertaining to the eligibility of public employees who are placed on a disciplinary suspension.

0035 6971 88

0035 6971 88 (Mar. 30, 2021) – Because the claimant, a public employee, was not suspended due to an indictment, neither G.L. c. 268A, § 25, nor G.L. c. 30, § 59, apply. Since the claimant was on an indefinite disciplinary suspension and there is no indication in the record that he could return to work at the end of the suspension, he is entitled to unemployment benefits under G.L. c. 151A, § 25(f).

0031 1643 54

0031 1643 54 (May 28, 2020) – A firefighter EMT town employee, who was indicted for offenses that occurred years prior while employed as a teacher by another town, is subject to disqualification during the period of his suspension pursuant to G.L. c. 268A, § 25. Held the offenses were “misconduct in office” within the meaning of the statute.  

0029 0310 98

0029 0310 98 (June 19, 2019) – Because state employee’s indictment was for non-work related misconduct, the Perry Law does not prohibit her from collecting unemployment compensation while on an indefinite suspension. She is eligible for benefits under G.L. c. 151A, § 25(f).
