Bill overview
This bill modifies the Michigan Employment Security Act to clarify the process for recovering improperly paid unemployment benefits. It allows claimants to provide evidence of their eligibility for a waiver to avoid repayment, particularly in cases where the overpayment resulted from administrative errors or employer inaccuracies. The bill also outlines specific circumstances under which a waiver may be granted, such as when a claimant’s income was at or below poverty guidelines, and establishes time limits for initiating recovery actions and requesting waivers. It also addresses intentional misrepresentation and penalties for those cases.
