Bill overview
This bill changes how Michigan’s unemployment insurance agency handles improperly paid benefits. It requires the agency to waive recovery of benefits if doing so would be unfair, particularly in cases of administrative errors or when the overpayment resulted from the employer’s inaccurate wage information. The bill also sets deadlines for recovering overpaid benefits and clarifies that certain errors, like those stemming from clerical mistakes, shouldn't lead to legal action, and establishes reporting requirements for the agency regarding waiver decisions.
