In an effort to improve the service offered by the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency and to simplify the process unemployed workers must use to claim for benefits, the Michigan UIA set up MARVIN. MARVIN stands for Michigan’s Automated Response Voice Interactive Network.

This system allows you to fill in the claim form by using a phone. However, not any phone will work. You phone must be a touch tone or a push button phone. Note that in some phone’s you must push a switch to “tone” for it to work. Old phones that do not have a tone option will not work.

When you think of unemployment benefits, you automatically think about the financial assistance provided every week through the Michigan UI program. However, this is only one of the services available to Michigan unemployed workers. This article will focus on some of the most useful and generous services unemployed workers can apply for.

The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency allows you to file your claims online or over the phone. It also provides a wealth of information on its website. This includes downloadable forms and instructions you can read in your own time without wasting standing in line. These forms allow you to manage all kinds of procedures ranging from providing Notice to Register for Work to Authorizing Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency to withhold taxes on your behalf. If you are new to the unemployment insurance agency these forms and procedures can be confusing. This article will describe the main online forms, provide links to download them and give brief instructions on how to use them.
