Code 2 means you did not earn at least five times the most recent weekly benefit amount on last claim. In other words for your claim to be accepted you must first work for a registered employer and receive five times your last weekly benefit amount in wages.

I am not a state worker, but found this on the UIA site
http://www.michigan-gov-uia.com/trade-readjustment-allowance

from what I can gather your benefits would be pro -rated (clawed back)… maybe you should contact them in particular to see how much it is.

I am currently attending school Full Time under TRA benefits with understanding that I will not attempt to work full time. IF I were to find a part time job, how will that affect my UAI? If I cuurently receive the $362/wk max, will it be reduced or discontinued if I get a 20hr/wk minimum wage job. I need additional funds to cover basic living expenses.

I received a letter from unemployment(on 11/19/2009) that stated I was eligible for tier III extension. They told me that I had to file a new claim(which I did) on my last call into Marvin on 12/09/2009.I called on my next Marvin date and it told me that I could re-register til Jan. 3rd? Then on Dec. 26th I received a letter from unemployment that told me that my claim was denied for the following reason: Reason code #2: Claim denied as earnings do not equal at least 5 times the most recent weekly benefit amount on last claim. What does that mean? I tried to call the 866-500-0017# and all there was a recording and option for me to actually talk to someone. So, I haven’t received any money since. Can someone out there help me understand???

Call the 866-500-0017 and speak to someone. Yes you may be on hold for a while. But my experience has been that they are very helpful. Peace of mind is worth staying on hold.

Hello Guy

I am not a state worker, but i checked the site…
you are looking for
• EUC Tier II began in November 2008 and provides up to 13 weeks of federally funded
benefits after a person exhausts EUC Tier I. Tier II = 50% of a person’s state
unemployment benefits, up to 13 weeks. Effective November 8, 2009, Tier II now
provides for up to 54% of a person’s state unemployment benefits, up to 14 weeks.
Benefit payments for EUC Tier II will range from $48 to one full week of $387.

How do I apply for an unemployment extension?
If any unemployment benefit extensions are added or changed, UIA will notify potentially eligible unemployed workers by mail. Currently, there are two federal extensions in effect in Michigan – Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) tier 1 and tier 2 – and the federal-state Extended Benefits (EB) program.

Filing instructions for the federal EUC tier 1 program (20 weeks of benefits maximum) are mailed to unemployed workers who are about to exhaust their regular state benefits. When workers exhaust their EUC tier 1 benefits, the second tier (13 weeks maximum) is calculated automatically and a determination is mailed to workers showing the additional weeks of benefits. Workers do not need to apply for EUC tier 2. They simply continue to call MARVIN.

Michigan issued Extended Benefits to those who are unemployed or underemployed, have exhausted all of their state and federal unemployment benefits and federal EUC and cannot establish a new claim on or after 1/25/09. In addition, those claiming EB must perform a work search and list the employers contacted each week. EB provides up to 20 weeks of benefits. UIA notifies workers to file for E
B when they are about to exhaust their final EUC tier 2 benefit payments.

i am nearing the end of my innitial claim for unemployment (tier 1?) how or when and where do i receive or obtain forms, etc. to extend my claim? I have already given my notice on my apt. and will have to move again, as I don’t want to be locked into a lease. I guess I am freaking out! the uia # hasn’t really been any help. I do have 4 weeks left, and am trying not to overreact, can anyone send me some reassurance, forms, etc. please. thank you
