NFIB Victories in Michigan!
Unemployment Insurance Changes Save Millions
NFIB/Michigan was successful in adding an amendment to a
House Bill that will cut the current 26 weeks of state Unemployment Insurance
benefits to 20. The move will save employers almost a billion dollars over the
next three years. Follow up legislation passed in the last week of the 2011
session will implement strong fraud and waste measures in the Unemployment
Insurance system and replace severe federal penalties for borrowed funds with a
more manageable bond assessment.
