The Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) is waiving $431 million in overpayments of federal pandemic unemployment benefits paid to 55,000 Michigan residents. These overpayments were made by no fault of those who received the benefits. “No Michigander who did the right thing when applying for benefits should be required to pay anything back resulting from errors at the federal level. At every turn, I will stand up and fight on behalf of Michiganders to make sure they get what they were promised. Thanks to these waivers that we fought for and secured Michiganders will get to keep their hard-earned money,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
To date, the UIA has waived over $4.3 billion in overpayment debt for more than 400,000 claimants.
