Nearly 48,000 Michiganders are receiving $34 million in retroactive unemployment payments following a review, a release from the Michigan Labor and Economic Opportunity said.

About 48,000 Michigan residents who filed for unemployment benefits early in 2025 will receive additional money on their debit cards or in their direct deposit accounts.

Michigan increased its benefits for unemployed workers. Some will receive retroactive payments for changes enacted in January.

Residents should check their MiWAM account for updates. The state agency says the portal will contain a monetary redetermination letter, which explains the increase in payments.
