"(The Center Square) – When an audit found that Michigan’s Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) paid out nearly $4 billion in ineligible claims, the agency acknowledged “some errors were made.”
...“The agency had two choices:
- Either get the money out the door as soon as possible
- and don’t verify anyone’s eligibility,
- or they verify the eligibility, and it takes a little bit longer to get the money,” Johnson said.
“That decision cost the state of Michigan $4 billion.”
...Senior UIA staff said said that former UIA Director Steve Gray “made unilateral decisions” before his Nov. 2020 resignation and then, at that time, secretly pocketed an $85,872 severance deal and a confidentiality agreement amid months of record jobless claims.
