How to File for Unemployment Benefits in Michigan?
Claims through nearest state unemployment offices
One way is to contact your nearest state unemployment office for information, instructions and forms. You can apply online on the internet or through the phone. In others, you might have to visit the local offices personally to complete the formalities yourself. You can look up the nearest office in the phone book from your local telephone company.These offices are gemerally listed under State Government Offices or similar heading in the government section near the front of the phone book. However, it might not be listed as the State Unemployment Office. Each directory is different.
Claims by Mail
Jobless workers may take cuts in line by using convenient Claims by Mail service. Mail-in applications are available in Bureau branch offices, most Michigan Works! Service centers and in the Forms section of our Web site.

You can continue to apply for EUC and wait to see if Congress extends the program.
