The Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) in Michigan said earlier this month that it will resume collections of $2.7 billion (£2 billion) in overpaid claims from around 350,000 workers in the state who received boosted unemployment insurance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The UIA is offering the impacted workers a two-week grace period and will begin with the recollections on 29th September. If you were offered Michigan unemployment benefits in 2021 and 2022, you could be affected by this development. Michigan workers will be required to repay money they received on claims, dating back to as early as March 2020. The agency said workers who received jobless benefits and were overpaid would have been informed of the situation years ago.
