Bill overview
This bill changes how Michigan’s unemployment insurance agency can recover improperly paid benefits. It limits the time they have to demand repayment to a maximum of three years from when the benefit was initially paid, with exceptions for cases involving suspected identity fraud. Additionally, the bill allows for waivers of repayment in certain circumstances, such as when the overpayment resulted from an administrative error or when repayment would be unfair, and it establishes a stricter timeframe for pursuing recovery in cases of intentional fraud.
