The bill amends Michigan's unemployment insurance law to establish a process for appealing improper benefit payments. It requires the unemployment insurance agency to notify claimants of their right to a hearing to appeal a determination of improper payment. The agency must review the claimant's eligibility for a waiver before initiating recovery of benefits. The agency may conduct an amnesty program to waive penalties and interest if the claimant pays the full amount of restitution within a specified period.
