MI SB0625

Adds a new waiver category allowing claimants to avoid repaying improperly obtained unemployment benefits if they were honest in their application and accepted benefits in good faith

Maintains existing waiver provisions for claimants with household income at or below 150% of federal poverty guidelines, those affected by employer wage reporting errors, and cases of agency administrative or clerical errors

Preserves the 3-year time limit for the unemployment insurance agency to issue restitution determinations and initiate recovery actions, except in cases of suspected identity fraud

Continues to require the agency to review claims for waiver eligibility before initiating benefit recovery and provide notice to claimants of their protest and appeal rights

Requires annual reporting by January 31 to legislative committees on waiver applications received, granted, denied, and total restitution amounts waived
