We study the first homology group of the mapping class group and Torelli group with coefficients in the first rational homology group of the universal abelian cover of the surface. We prove two contrasting results: for surfaces with one boundary component these twisted homology groups are finite-dimensional, but for surfaces with one puncture they are infinite-dimensional. These results play an important role in a recent paper of the authors calculating the second rational homology group of the Torelli group.
