More UIA offices open in Michigan

Due to COVID-19 UIA Local Offices closed as of Wednesday, March 18.

Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) local offices are closed to the public. These changes will remain effective as long as necessary for the health and safety of the public. UIA offices will continue to serve the public and eligible employees are encouraged to apply for benefits online or by calling 866-500-0017.

You can see the list of Unemployment Insurance Agency offices we compiled a while back, along with some reasoning on why it is beneficial to get help in person for unemployment issues.

Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency has recently opened six more offices to help resolve unemployment benefit problems.  These are the Problem Resolution Offices typically seen called PRO across various State of Michigan information.

UIA now has offices at existing Michigan Works or Department of Human Services offices in:

  • Alpena
  • Benton Harbor
  • Houghton
  • Kalamazoo
  • Sault Ste. Marie
  • Traverse City

There were already problem resolution offices in Detroit, Gaylord, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Mt. Clemens, Marquette, Muskegon and Saginaw.

If there is not an office nearby, you can call customer service at 1-866-500-0017 or send an email through an online claim account at www.michigan.gov/uia under “UIA Online Services for Unemployed Workers.”
