hsumaker Dooglia on 08 Mar 10IN MICHIGAN -If your earnings from work are equal to or less than your weekly umemployment entitlement, your benefits are reduced by 50 cents on every dollar earned -If your earnings surpass your weekly unemployment benefit but are less than 1.5x times your benefit amount, then your total earnings are subtracted from 1.5x times your weekly benefit amount -Your weekly benefit combined with your weekly earnings cannot exceed 1.5x your unemployment benefit amount. This would suggest that in Michigan you could possibly work part-time starting your own business while claiming unemployment insurance as long as you don't make wages from your business in excess of the above and are willing and able to take the new job that you are actively looking for.
