What To Do If You Suspect Fraud or Identity Theft

Immediately protest the Monetary Determination or the Bi-Weekly Statement of Charges/Credits to the Employer’s Account. To be timely, the protest must be received by Unemployment Insurance no later than 30 calendar days from the mail date shown on the first page of the form (UIA 1575E or UIA 1136). Please note that although you have 30 days to protest, notifying us within 10 days of the mail date on the monetary determination will help prevent the claim from entering pay status.
- To send a protest through MiWAM, select the Account Services tab, then the Benefit Services sub-tab. The link to Determinations and Decisions allow you to protest the Monetary Determination. The link to View Benefit Charges & Credits allows you to protest the UIA 1136, Bi-Weekly Statement of Charges/Credits to the Employer’s Account
- To submit a written protest, mail or fax as instructed on the letter.
Please be aware that once payments begin, they will continue until the investigative process is complete.
Have the victim report the fraudulent activity immediately as well.
You can also report fraud online at michigan.gov/uia through the Report Fraud or Report Identity Theft link or call 1-866-500-0017.
