    applicationbenefits1 300x195 Michigan Works Unemployment: Terms You Should Understand

    Learn what the terms in your unemployment benefits application mean.

    Although Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency strives to make things as simple as possible for unemployed workers, there are still many terms in forms and booklets you may have never heard off before and struggle to understand. This article will look at some of  the jargon found in Unemployment Insurance Agency publications.

    Monetary Determination.

    This is a document prepared by Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency  and sent to you to explain the status of your claim. If you qualify for  a claim it will specify how many weeks you are entitled to and how much money you will receive.

    Benefits Year Beginning.

    This is the date y0ur claim starts. You have 52 weeks, a whole year, to claim the 26 weeks you are entitled to. This 52-week period is your benefits year. Benefit weeks y0u don’t claim in your benefits year cannot be passed on to the next year.

    Benefits Year Ending Date.

    The date your benefits year finishes. After this date you can no longer reopen a claim on your 26 weeks of benefits. Of course, you may qualify for a new benefits year (with its 26 weeks) after the ending date of your current benefits year.

    Base Period.

    This is a key term if you want to understand how your benefits are worked out. It is a period of four calendar quarters (three-month periods) where the wages you were paid by your employer or employers are used to calculate your claim for unemployment compensation. The first base period quarter are as follows: Quarter 1 (January 1st to March 31st), Quarter 2 (April 1st to June 30th), Quarter 3 (July 1st to September 30th) and Quarter 4 (October 1st to December 31st). However your base year will be worked out from the last four quarters from the date you apply so quarter 1 does not have to start in January necessarily.

    High Quarter Wages.

    This is the quarter of your base period where you earned the most money. This the quarter used by Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency to calculate your unemployment benefits.

    Reference Codes.

    When y0u read your monetary determination (meaning of that term is explained above) you will see a load of reference codes. These codes provide you with important information on your claim. The meaning of these codes is explained on the back of your determination.

    Number of Dependents.

    This is the number of people that depend on you financially. That is, the people that live off your wage, or unemployment benefits. You cannot claim for more than five dependents. However, make sure you include everyone who you care for with your income because you cannot change the number of dependents during a benefit year.
