Michigan resident who believe they were wrongly accused of falsely receiving unemployment benefits from 2013-15 should be aware of an upcoming deadline to return a key document to potentially qualify for the class action lawsuit.
The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) is leading the effort to resolve the long-standing case that arose from automated claim determinations made by a computer system installed during Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration. The UIA is rolling out in 2025 a modern, user-friendly interface called MiUI that will replace the decade-old Michigan Web Account Manager (MiWAM).
The Michigan Court of Claims set an Aug. 19 deadline for 377 potential class action members in the Bauserman v UIA lawsuit to return a properly signed release to Analytics Consulting, the settlement’s Claims Administrator. Claimants should have received a release from Analytics Consulting.
Those who fail to return a release may lose their right to payment from the $20 million lawsuit settlement approved by the Court of Claims in January 2023.
For additional information:
• Questions about the signed release should be directed to Analytics Consulting. Call 1-833-438-5028 or email info@UIAClassAction.com.
• Links to information about the case can be found on the Claimant Homepage of the UIA’s public website at Michigan.gov/UIA.
• Analytics Consulting has set up a separate website with case information at UIAClassAction.com.
The settlement is the result of a lawsuit filed in 2015 on behalf of unemployment benefit claimants who experienced wrongful collection activities, wage garnishments, or tax return intercepts after being erroneously found to have committed fraud through an auto-adjudication process applied to unemployment benefit claims from Oct. 1, 2013, to Aug. 31, 2015.
