To date the UIA has waived over $4.3 billion in overpayment debt for more than 400,000 thousand claimants with more to come. “This is a huge weight lifted off so many Michiganders’ shoulders,” said Governor Whitmer. “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.
