    confusion Michigan UIA FAQ: EUC Benefits in Michigan

    The United States in general, and the state of Michigan in particular, are experiencing a period of unprecedentedly high unemployment rates. This caused the federal government to introduce the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Program and the Extended Benefits. As more and more workers are forced to apply for this program, more questions about the process and eligibility requirements of the system are being asked. We receive queries from many of our readers on Michigan’s EUC benefits. We include a sample of these questions and their answers below.

    What is the federal law behind the EUC program?

    That would be public law 110-252. This law allows a minimum of 13 weeks of extended unemployment benefits to all states. However, states with a high unemployment rate can qualify for up to 53 weeks.

    Who is Eligible?

    To qualify for EUC benefits you must be unemployed due to no fault of your own and meet the requirements of Michigan’s UI state benefits system. You must have exhausted your UI benefits and still be fit and willing to work.

    How much will I get?

    You will receive the same weekly benefit amount you received when you were under the Michigan UI program. The current maximum weekly benefit amount is $362.

    Do I still need to report my bi-weekly claims?

    Yes you do. You choose whether to do this online, over the phone or by mail. Phone or online are the preferred methods. Mail claims are only allowed due to special circumstances.

    When will the program end?

    The last extension of the EUC program set the last week you can claim for EUC benefits till June 9, 2012. However, you will not be able to establish a tier 1 claim after December 31, 2011. Nevertheless, if you are already registered with the EUC program you can continue receiving payments (as long as you qualify) up until the last week of the program.

    Who pays for EUC benefits?

    All the costs of this program are covered by the Federal government. This means employers are not required to pay for this through their unemployment insurance and will not receive monetary determinations for applications to EUC benefits.

    When should I apply?

    Wait for the application to be sent by mail. You will receive a form when you are soon to run out of benefits, if you qualify for the program. If you have any question or problem call 1.866.500.0017.
