MI SB0999

Modifies the minimum wage earnings requirement for establishing a benefit year under Michigan's unemployment insurance law by changing the multiplier from 388.06 to 128 hours of the state minimum wage.

The reduced multiplier (128 hours) applies to benefit years beginning after May 31, 2020, making it easier for individuals to qualify for unemployment benefits.

The previous multiplier (388.06 hours) continues to apply to benefit years beginning on or before May 31, 2020.

Maintains existing provisions requiring individuals to have worked and earned remuneration equal to at least 5 times their most recent state weekly benefit rate before establishing a new benefit year.
