The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency’s (UIA) office in Saginaw will close beginning Monday, March 25, 2024, for renovations to create a more welcoming atmosphere for Michiganders who seek face-to-face service on their jobless claims.
While construction is underway, UIA staff will serve claimants from a location on the sixth floor of the same office building at 515 North Washington where the current Saginaw Local Office is located. Renovation work on the current first floor public space is expected to take two months.
Saginaw is one of five UIA Local Offices undergoing renovations this year. The other offices are Sterling Heights, Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Detroit. Temporary office locations will be set up near each Local Office so UIA staff can continue to help workers in person who have questions about their claims. Once renovations are complete, the UIA offices will reopen at their permanent locations to help claimants by appointment.
Those needing help with their claims can go to the UIA’s appointments page at Michigan.gov/UIA to schedule in-person appointments up to 14 days in advance at the temporary offices.
