What are the MI unemployment laws?

Answer by  Dean (4035)

Unemployment benefits is a federal program administered by the state. There are many variables that determine eligibility. The amount of the benefit is based on income earned in the 12 months prior to the most recent 90 days worked. Any income earned while on unemployment must be reported so that the benefit for that period can be adjusted.

Michigan unemployment laws are quite simple. First, you must have been employed in a company for a year or more, earned full time wages (they will not give unemployment to laid off part timers)and was unjustly released from that employer i.e..laid off or fired. If fired from a job, you must prove that it was an unjustified firing.

In Michigan, you are eligible for unemployment benefits if you meet certain criteria. A quarter of your standard base period earnings must be at least 1,998 or your total earnings must be at least 20 times the state average weekly.
