Unemployment Update #9
October 19, 2026
The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) is transitioning to a new unemployment tax and benefits system called MiUI, which will replace the current Michigan Web Account Manager (MiWAM). MiUI is being rolled out in two phases: Tax functions are now live, and Benefits functions are scheduled to launch November 9.
In this issue of the MiUI Unemployment Update, we are sharing details about the Introduction to MiUI Webinars, available now through November 6.
Introduction to MiUI webinars offer an early look at modernized system's features
In preparation for the full transition from MiWAM to MiUI on Monday, Nov. 9, 2026, UIA is hosting 10 Introduction to MiUI webinars to explain MiUI and its benefits functions. Stakeholders or partners who work with claimants may benefit from attending one of these informational sessions.
The one-hour webinars can be scheduled through Nov. 6, 2026. Click the button below to choose your session today:
