Employment security: benefits; disqualification from benefits; modify. Amends sec. 29 of 1936 (Ex Sess) PA 1 (MCL 421.29).

SB 975 amends Michigan's unemployment insurance law to clarify when individuals are disqualified from receiving benefits. The bill establishes specific rules for leaving a job voluntarily, such as quitting without good cause, missing work for three days without notice, or losing a job requirement due to negligence. It also outlines stricter requirements for those leaving due to medical reasons, requiring proof that continuing work would harm their health and that they attempted to find alternative arrangements. Additionally, the legislation includes provisions for certain situations where leaving work does not result in disqualification, such as for military spouses or victims of domestic violence, while adjusting how benefits are funded in these cases.
