PANDEMIC UNEMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE MONETARY REDETERMINATION

Attention TESSIA E HALL,

You filed a claim for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) on July 02, 2021. A PUA Monetary
Determination was previously issued in response to your claim filing on 12/6/2020.

This reconsideration is being issued more than 30 days after the prior (re)determination, therefore, good cause
for the late redetermination must be established. This redetermination is being issued on the Agency’s own
motion on the basis of new additional or corrected information received. Therefore, good cause for this
redetermination is established in accordance with Section 32a(2) of the Michigan Employment Security (MES)
Act.

Your claim has been reconsidered.

The prior determination is modified.

Based on information provided, it is determined you do qualify for PUA benefits.

Based on the proof of income provided, your PUA weekly benefit amount is 184.00 per week.

This redetermination is effective beginning December 06, 2020.

Claim Information
• Benefit Year Beginning (BYB): December 06, 2020
• Your weekly benefit amount: 184.00
• Your current available balance of PUA weeks, as of the date of this letter is 53.00.

Your weekly benefit amount (WBA) was calculated based on the statement of net income amount you provided in
your claim filing. If you did not provide a statement of net income or you did not have sufficient income to result in
an increased WBA, you received the minimum PUA weekly benefit amount of $160. If your WBA is more than the
$160 minimum, you will be required to submit proof of your net income. You will receive a separate request to
provide your documentation. The notice will include additional information as well as the deadline for submission
and examples of acceptable proof. If the documentation is not provided, or it is not sufficient to establish your net
income, your WBA will be reduced to the minimum of $160 per week.
Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation
The ARPA also provides for an extension of Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC). FPUC
provides an additional $300 per week in supplemental benefits to eligible individuals. FPUC is payable through
week ending September 4, 2021.

Friend of the Court

PUA benefits are subject to Friend of the Court child support deductions.

(Rev. 07-21)

PUA claimants are required to submit proof of employment or self-employment that is the basis of the PUA claim
filing. UIA will send a separate notice requesting the documentation. The request will include additional
information, the deadline date for submission, and examples of acceptable proof. For claims filed or reopened
prior to January 31, 2021, you will have 90 days from the date of the notice to submit your proof of employment.
For new, original PUA claims filed on or after January 31, 2021, you will have 21 days from the date of the
request to submit your documentation.

If you do not submit the proof or if the proof is not sufficient to establish that you were employed or self-employed,
your PUA benefits will stop and you may have to repay PUA benefits that you already received.

In addition to proof of employment, you will be required to verify your identity if you have not already been
required to do so. UIA will send a separate request for your identity verification. The notice will provide additional
information and instructions on how to submit your verification, the deadline for submission, and examples of
acceptable proof. You have 10 days from the date of the notice to submit the requested documents to establish
your identity.

If you do not respond or the documents you provide are not sufficient to verify your identity, your benefits will be
stopped, and you may be required to repay benefits already received.

Bi-Weekly Certification
You must certify your eligibility every two weeks to receive payment. To certify, log into your Michigan Web
Account Manager (MiWAM) at www.michigan.gov/uia. Your first certification must be done anytime between July
11, 2021 and July 17, 2021 and then every two weeks thereafter.

After your first certification, you must continue to certify bi-weekly. You can certify in your online account seven
days a week and 24 hours a day. If you do not have a MiWAM account, you can create one online at
www.michigan.gov/uia. If your claim has been denied, you should continue to certify while your protest is
pending; otherwise, if the protest is resolved in your favor you cannot be paid for any weeks that you did not
certify.

Bi-Weekly Certification Day and Time

You can also certify by phone by calling MARVIN (Michigan Automated Response Voice Interactive Network) at
1-866-638-3993. If you certify using MARVIN, you must certify on your MARVIN scheduled certification
day and time.

If certifying by phone, your filing day and time are found by using the last two digits of your Social Security
Number. If you are unable to certify on your scheduled day and time, you may certify on either Thursday or
Friday which are make-up days.

Example: If your Social Security Number is 555-55-5511, the last two digits are 11. Number 11 is under
Monday.

Inform UIA of Your Work Search Activities

You are required to actively seek work and report at least one weekly work search activity during your bi-weekly
certification for benefits. Your benefits will not be paid until you report your work search activities to UIA.

Report your work search activities during your bi-weekly certification online through your Michigan Web Account
Manager (MiWAM) account which is the preferred and quickest method.

You may also report your work search when you certify with MARVIN by calling 1-866-638-3993. After
completing the automated questions, you must stay on the line to be connected with an UIA agent and
provide your work search information for each week.

Appeal Rights
If you disagree with this redetermination you have the right to appeal requesting a hearing before an
administrative law judge. Your appeal must be received within 30 calendar days from the mail date of this
redetermination. If your appeal is filed after the deadline, you must include the reason your appeal is late in your
statement. You can also attach copies of any documents that support your appeal.

You can submit your appeal online at www.michigan.gov/uia through your Michigan Web Account Manager
(MiWAM) and upload documents. If you wish to appeal in writing, complete Form UIA 1733, Appeal of a
Redetermination. This form is located on the website under the Forms link. Include your name, case number and

signed.

Your appeal must be received no later than February 10, 2022 or this redetermination becomes final.

Under provisions of the Michigan Employment Security (MES) Act, benefits determined payable will be paid even
though another appeal may be filed later. However, if the appeal later determines that you were not entitled to
receive all or part of these benefits, you will be required to repay the benefits improperly received.
