Unemployed Workers Can Also Claim Benefits During 4th of July Holiday Office Closing
July 1, 2016 – Although the UIA will be closed on Monday, July 4, to observe Independence Day, unemployed workers can still contact the agency’s automated systems to report their eligibility for unemployment benefits.
Unemployed workers claiming benefits in Michigan must report once every two weeks that they are unemployed and meet the eligibility requirements for benefits, either online through the Michigan Web Account Manager (MiWAM), or by contacting the Michigan Automated Response Voice Interactive Network (MARVIN) by phone.
Claimants reporting online through their MiWAM account may do so 24 hours a day, Monday through Saturday of their reporting week at michigan.gov/uia. Individuals who contact MARVIN by phone must do so during specific times according to a Monday through Wednesday schedule or anytime on Thursday through Saturday between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. MARVIN can be reached toll-free at 1-866-638-3993.
Because of the upcoming holiday, there may be a one or two day delay before the benefits are directly deposited into the bank accounts or loaded onto debit cards. The 4th of July holiday is observed by Michigan state government and most financial institutions.
