MI SB0370

Removes language restricting maximum unemployment benefits to 20 weeks for claims filed on or after January 15, 2012, restoring the maximum to 26 weeks for all eligible individuals.

Eliminates the two-tiered benefit structure that reduced maximum benefits from 26 weeks to 20 weeks based on claim filing date, creating uniform benefit duration.

Maintains existing minimum benefit requirement of 14 weeks of benefits payable to individuals in a benefit year, with maximum calculations based on 43% of base period wages.

Preserves all other provisions related to weekly benefit rates, dependent allowances, partial employment reductions, and training benefits that were in effect before the 20-week restriction.
