Sadly, one of the most frequently asked questions we get from our readers is how to get in touch with a local unemployment office or branch of Michigan Works. I say sadly, because contacting your local unemployment branch is key to claiming for benefits and finding a new job in Michigan.
This article will focus on providing you with the contact details you need to get the job of finding employment done and receive the help you need while you are searching.
The Easiest Method.
The easiest method of claiming benefits, registering for work and renewing your biweekly claim is to visit Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency. At Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency website you can file an unemployment benefits claim, an emergency extended benefits claim, find a job and file for your biweekly certification. All from the comfort of your home and without spending a dime on gas or public transport. You can file an unemployment claim online from 7 am to 7 pm, Monday to Saturday.
You can also visit Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency’s Online Services for Unemployed Workers and sign on for a free web account. This account will allow you to access your unemployment file, benefit payment history and even change your method of payment. This is especially useful to check your benefit payment history to work out your unemployment benefits payment schedule and plan ahead when applying for emergency extended benefits. If it is the first you visit, you will have to register. Just click on the blue link on the left of the welcome page.
Jump-start your search for employment at the State of Michigan’s Helping Hand website. This website acts like a hub connecting unemployed workers with government websites to help them find the information they need on jobs, training, unemployment benefits, family support, housing and health care.
If you do not have access to internet visit you local Job Corps office ask for help and use their connection to visit the UIA website. Here are the contact details for the Job Corps centers in Michigan.
