MI SB0526

Allows an employer that continues to employ a claimant after unemployment benefits are claimed to file a request for redetermination within 30 calendar days of the monetary determination notice.

Continuing employer must affirm: employment continuation since the base period, weekly wages equal to or greater than the claimant's average weekly wage from the base period (except for employee-requested unpaid leave), and notification to the agency within 10 days if requirements are no longer met.

Agency shall redetermine weekly benefit amount and weeks payable within 15 calendar days, excluding the continuing employer's base period wages and charging benefits to remaining employers.

Original wages used for benefit qualification remain unchanged, and no benefit reductions apply for wages from employers no longer chargeable under the redetermination.

If the continuing employer fails to meet requirements for any claimed week, the agency shall reinstate the original monetary determination for all subsequent weeks in the benefit year.
