A recent review letter from the federal government has revealed problems with how the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) has operated. The letter clearly shows the agency failed to notify nearly 700,000 people regarding changes in Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) qualifications for nearly six months. As early as January 6, the federal government informed the state that multiple benefit qualification requirements were not in compliance with federal law.
