UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
UIA Advocacy Program
The Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) Advocacy Program is a program where employees and employers can obtain free representation at initial administrative hearings before an administrative law judge (ALJ) regarding many types of unemployment benefit cases. We are qualified (and have been issued a vendor contract) with the State of Michigan to offer this service. Under this program we represent employers only.
If your company is appealing an Agency final adjudication (referred to as a Redetermination), then the next step is for the case to be scheduled before an administrative law judge to hear the matter. To request services under this program, wait about 2 weeks and then either complete and fax the Advocacy Set Up Sheet to the program (or us and we will get it to the Advocacy Program) or call their phone number (1-800-638-3994) to provide them the relevant information. The preferred method is to fax the set up sheet. The Advocacy Set Up Sheet is located in the Documents tab or click here.
If your ex-employee has filed the appeal, you will become aware of it when you receive the Notice of Hearing. As soon as you receive the Notice of Hearing, complete and fax the set up sheet to the Program or to us.
