Bill overview
This bill amends Michigan’s unemployment insurance laws to clarify when an individual may be disqualified from receiving benefits if they leave employment. It creates an exception for victims of stalking, allowing them to receive benefits even if they leave work voluntarily. The bill also outlines specific circumstances, such as medical reasons, military duty, or accepting suitable work, that would not result in disqualification, and adjusts the requalification process for those disqualified due to certain reasons.
