MI HB4669

Amends section 20 of Michigan's unemployment compensation law to add subsection (j) creating an exception for military spouses who leave employment to accompany a spouse reassigned for military service in a different geographic location.

Benefits paid to individuals who leave employment to follow a military spouse's reassignment are charged to the nonchargeable benefits account rather than to the employer's account, effective for benefit years beginning after March 30, 2009.

Applies to persons whose spouse is a full-time member of the United States armed forces and is reassigned to a different geographic location, relieving the employer from bearing the cost of such unemployment benefits.
