MI HB5391

Prohibits the unemployment insurance agency from recovering improperly paid unemployment benefits more than 1 year after the date the claimant receives the payment, for claims made on or after the bill's effective date

Exempts cases involving suspected identity fraud from the 1-year recovery limitation, allowing the agency to pursue recovery beyond that timeframe in fraud situations

Maintains existing 3-year time limits for issuing restitution determinations and initiating administrative or court actions to recover improperly paid benefits in other circumstances

Requires the agency to waive recovery of improperly paid benefits (and any interest) when repayment would be "contrary to equity and good conscience," including cases of administrative error, claimant hardship, or employer-caused wage information errors

Limits deductions from benefits or wages for overpayment recovery to no more than 50% of each payment due to the claimant
