Help filing your Michigan unemployment claim when you lose a job through no fault of your own.

Michigan unemployment (run by the UIA) gives temporary weekly payments to workers who lose a job through no fault of their own and are able, available, and looking for full-time work. You file and manage your claim in an online MiWAM account.

The system is technical and English-heavy, and you must certify every two weeks or payments stop. We help you set it up and stay on track.

## Who this is for

- Workers laid off or with reduced hours through no fault of their own
- People who need help creating a MiWAM / MILogin account and verifying their identity
- Non-citizens with work authorization (you provide your work-permit details)
- Anyone who needs the process explained in Bangla

## How we can help

- Help you create your MiWAM account and file the claim
- Help you register for work with Michigan Works!
- Explain the every-two-weeks certification and work-search steps
- Translate the determinations and notices you receive

## What to bring

- Social Security number and a state ID / driver’s license
- Your 18-month work history (employers, addresses, dates)
- Your last employer’s UIA/Federal ID (from your W-2) and reason for separation
- For non-citizens, your work-authorization document and A-number

## Our fees

- Filing your claim: $30
- Each two-week certification: $10

## Questions

**Can I get benefits if I quit?**

Usually not, unless you quit for a good reason connected to the employer. If you were fired, the employer must prove misconduct. The UIA decides each case.

**What if my claim is denied?**

You can protest within 30 days. See our Unemployment Protest / Appeal page, we help with that too.
