The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) launched this webpage to help small business employers, third-party administrators, and workers navigate key unemployment law changes going into effect in mid-July.

- Claimants must report 3 work searches each week.
- New protections for domestic violence survivors.
- More flexibility in Work Share programs.
- Streamlined appeal process.
