    The easiest method of claiming benefits, registering for work and renewing your biweekly claim is to visit Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency.

    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.
