NEW MICHIGAN UNEMPLOYMENT RULES
Posted on March 6th, 2009 by Dan Penning
Michigan’s Unemployment Security Act was recently amended to extend unemployment benefits to certain employees who previously would not have been eligible.
Generally, individuals who leave work voluntarily are not eligible for unemployment benefits. The change to the Act creates an exception for an individual who is the spouse of a full-time member of the United States armed forces and who is forced to resign and relocate because of the military reassignment of the spouse.
Beginning after March 30, 2009, benefits paid to such individuals shall not be chargeable to the employer, but instead to the “nonchargeable benefits account” covered by the state.
