Rep. Steve Johnson of Wayland, the Chairman of the House Oversight Committee in Michigan, is launching an investigation into the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency. The investigation comes on the heels of recent mistakes by the agency that may cost thousands of Michigan's residents thousands in dollars.
On Thursday, after amending a previously non-controversial bill, the Michigan House voted 60-49 to end the extra $300 in supplemental federal payments to job seekers receiving unemployment benefits.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the work search requirement to receive unemployment has been waived in the state of Michigan. That is about to change.
CraftWorks Holdings also reportedly fired their CEO Hazem Ouf and CFO Jim Lebs after the two were accused of paying the company's bills without permission.
