Unemployment filling troubles.

UPPER MICHIGAN – Upper Michigan lawmakers have been working together to address the many problems at the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency.  Rep. Greg Markkanen, (R) from the 110th State House District says many of the problems could be resolved with stronger internet technology saying There’s supposed to be a link for a live chat and that’s not working either. So people who want to find additional help can’t find it.  Ed McBroom, (R) of the 38th State Senate District says the UIA’s web account manager (MiWAM) is overwhelmed and plagued with problems.  Meanwhile, the UIA is bogged down with new claims, claims that are in limbo, password resets, and clunky software.  Upper Michigan’s lawmakers continue to work together, with local health officials and with the office of Governor Gretchen Whitmer to find a solution.  The unemployment insurance agency was unavailable for comment.
