Legal Opinion
DiGiulio v. Director of the Department of Unemployment Assistance
Massachusetts Appeals Court
Decided October 24, 2018No. AC 17-P-330Published
1Opinion of the CourtAgnes, J.
*851 *292 The sole question before us is whether the plaintiff, Jessica DiGiulio, is entitled to unemployment benefits after leaving her employment in Massachusetts to relocate to Puerto Rico with her husband, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), who was transferred to work on the island. We conclude that the twelfth paragraph of G. L. c. 151A, § 25 ( e ), controls the outcome of this case and precludes DiGiulio from receiving unemployment benefits. We therefore reverse the judgment issued by the District Court judge.
