A bill to amend 1936 (Ex Sess) PA 1, entitled “Michigan employment security act,” by amending section 62 (MCL 421.62), as amended by 2017 PA 231, and by adding section 62a.
Attempts to address the recovery of improperly paid unemployment benefits. The bill outlines methods for the unemployment agency to reclaim these benefits from individuals not entitled to them, including deductions from future benefits, wages, or tax refunds, with a cap of 50% on such deductions. It sets a three-year limit for issuing restitution demands, except in fraud cases, and specifies conditions under which recovery should be waived, taking into account the claimant's financial situation and the error's nature.
