Can’t Repay the UIA Unemployment Benefits? PSED Can Help You!

UIA initiated the repayment demands early last year, claiming that benefits to approximately 700,000 qualified claimants during the previous 2 years, were disbursed in error, totaling  approximately $3.9 billion. It claimed that under new Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) eligibility rules, the recipients of the funds lost their previously recognized eligibility. The UIA mailed notices to 700,000 people demanding repayment of benefits previously received, advising that the payments had been made in error due to a change in federal eligibility requirements.

Do You Have To Honor A Request By UIA For Repayment Of Unemployment Benefits?

In recent months, over 38,000 Michigan residents have received demands from the Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) for repayment of unemployment benefits. The UIA’s repayment requests are for substantial amounts of money, as high as $ 35,000. However, the repayment demands are of questionable legality. Many of the recipients have exhausted the benefits they previously received and cannot afford to repay the State.  How to respond to and contest a repayment request is an issue that is causing and will continue to cause serious concern to many Michiganders.

Forfeiture of Unemployment Insurance Benefits

The right to receive unemployment insurance benefits after an employment relationship ends depends solely on why the relationship ended.

Employers and employees commonly believe that because the employee is jobless he/she is entitled by law to receive unemployment benefits from the State. However, in many situations, that’s not true. In Michigan, there are a number of legal limitations on an unemployed employee’s right to receive benefits from the State.
