MLPB Digital Digest - Federal

Welcome to MLPB’s Digital Digest. Our team has created this open-access tool to help workforce colleagues navigate law and policy changes. It is intended to provide guidance and problem-solving strategies to address a range of key HRSN needs.

This tool:

Distills major federal (nation-wide) themes in resources, benefits and legal protections.
Curates high-level, evolving information and identifies expert resources in key domains of HRSN, through the lens of two states – MA and RI – where MLPB does extensive work.

This information is for educational purposes only; nothing in it should be construed as legal advice.

The Bulletin
