Michigan Working Families' Alliance
The Michigan Working Families’ Alliance arose from the concerns held by several non-profit advocates about the harmful effects of Michigan’s unemployment insurance (UI) law on Michigan’s children. In Michigan, 2011 saw the most sweeping changes in legislation for UI benefits since the program’s beginnings in the 1930s. With support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and administration by the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Project, the Alliance exists to assess and address the outworkings of the new UI law and the needs of the children it will most heavily affect. We are an alliance of nonprofit organizations, small businesses, unions and individuals who desire to make the lives of children in unemployed families more secure.

"Families at Risk: The Impact of 2011 changes to unemployment insurance on Michigan's unemployed families and children": For the first time, there is a study on the effects of unemployment insurance benefits on Michigan's unemployed families with children and predictions about the effects of a more restrictive UI program. The was released in September 2012 by Dr. Luke Shaefer, assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work. In his report, Dr. Shaefer examines the recent changes in Michigan's law and compares the new regime with other states' UI programs.
The Alliance will use this report to educate its partners and State Legislators on the consequences--good and bad--of the new laws on Michigan's children.
