Unemployment benefits are usually paid by check, automatic deposit in claimant's checking account, or by debit card. Because each state determines it's own method of disbursement, it's best to check with your own state's employment security office for clarification.

What do you do in Michigan when your benefit year for unemployment benefits is about to expire and you are still unemployed?

If the U.S. Senate determines to continue to fund the unemployment benefits this week, residents will continue to be able to receive their federally funded unemployment benefits, as if nothing happened. If you happen to be one of the many Michigan residents who are unemployed and are receiving unemployment benefits and you now have questions, call your local unemployment office. They will better be able to explain what you will qualify for and what you will not be receiving at this point. Rumors do fly in situations like this; however, find out the facts before taking everything that you hear to heart.
