Legal aid organizations across Michigan recently received funding to help individuals seeking legal assistance in unemployment benefits cases.
The Unemployment Legal Assistance Relief Fund (Relief Fund) is administered by the Michigan State Bar Foundation (MSBF) and was created through recent class action settlements.
MSBF provides leadership and grants to improve access to the justice system and supports Michigan’s civil legal aid programs.
With the creation of a Relief Fund, more help is available to provide free legal advice and representation for unemployment insurance claimants across Michigan. MSBF distributed Relief Fund dollars to several longstanding legal assistance programs as part of a pilot program to expand access to free legal aid in unemployment cases.
Lakeshore Legal Aid’s Counsel & Advocacy Law Line (CALL), Legal Services of South Central Michigan (LSSCM), Legal Aid of Eastern Michigan (LSEM), Legal Aid of Western Michigan (LAWM), and The Sugar Law Center for Economic & Social Justice have collaborated to provide unemployment legal help in every Michigan county.
For legal assistance with an unemployment benefits case contact CALL at 888-783-8190 to speak with an attorney.
If needed, CALL will refer cases to its partner legal aid programs for additional advice or representation.
CALL’s free legal hotline and triage services are available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesdays 9 a.m. 6 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
