Michigan workers who believe they were wrongly asked to repay pandemic-era unemployment benefits to the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) can now seek information and file claims online regarding a class action lawsuit settlement.
The settlement in Saunders v. Unemployment Ins. Agency et al. allows workers to be reimbursed for money repaid before protests and appeals were resolved, or to opt out of the settlement.
“This resolution benefits claimants and ensures they receive the money they deserve,” said UIA Director Julia Dale. The UIA aims to address issues from the public health crisis and transform into a model for fast, fair, and fraud-free service.
For more details and to file claims, workers can visit the Claimant Homepage at Michigan.gov/UIA.
