Unemployment Fraud: Updates to Michigan Laws

Patricia Nemeth, founder of Nemeth Law PC, notes that changes have been made in Michigan laws this year to prevent former employees from wrongfully claiming unemployment benefits - and cracking down on employers who let them. According to Department of Labor (DOL) estimates, the state of Michigan pays $75 million a year in fraudulent claims. In order to avoid wrongful claims, Nemeth addresses changes in the law and the proper steps both employers and employees should follow to avoid fraud and its ramifications.
