New regulations in Michigan have increased the weekly job search requirements for individuals receiving unemployment benefits. Claimants must now complete three work search activities per week to maintain eligibility. The updated laws also provide expanded protections for domestic violence survivors who leave their jobs due to abuse. Additionally, the Work Share program is enhanced to help employers avoid layoffs by reducing hours and supplementing wages. These changes aim to support both job seekers and employers in the state.
