Waiver of Unemployment Insurance (UI) Eligibility Requirements
Are you going to school or training and collecting unemployment benefits?
__
To collect unemployment benefits, claimants are required to be available for and actively seeking full-time employment. The claimant can not refuse a job offer of suitable work due to their enrollment into school or training.
__
However, the law states that if a claimant is making satisfactory progress in an approved vocational training program, they can continue to receive their benefits even though they are not available or seeking work.
__
Claimants in training need to schedule an appointment with Troy Michigan Works! to complete the required forms and obtain a waiver.
__
