Abstract
In 2018, the state of Massachusetts started requiring workers to get sick benefits. These benefits are meant to help workers who lose income and have to pay for medical bills because of an injury or illness that is not related to their job. The Massachusetts sickness benefit program is unique in that it was made possible by agreements made in a working group made up of community leaders, business owners, and politicians, with strong support from the public. The Massachusetts sickness benefit program, thought to be the most generous of all state sickness allowance programs in the US, both in terms of the length of time people can get benefits and the amount of money they get, is taking root smoothly.
