MI SB1002

Reduces the maximum wage deduction limit for unemployment benefit overpayment recovery from 50% to 20% of each payment due to claimants.

Establishes a 3-year statute of limitations for the unemployment agency to issue restitution determinations and initiate recovery actions, with exceptions for intentional fraud cases which extend to 6 years.

Allows waiver of overpayment recovery when repayment would be contrary to equity and good conscience, including situations where claimants are at or below federal poverty guidelines and unintentional wage reporting errors occur.

Maintains penalties for intentional false statements or misrepresentation by canceling benefit year rights and preventing wages from being used to establish future benefit years, with restitution not subject to the 20% limitation.

Makes this act contingent on enactment of Senate Bills 1000, 1001, and 1003, and takes effect 90 days after enactment.
