Advocacy News – Oct. 16, 2025
What’s new: The Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) is transitioning from its decade-old MiWAM system to a new platform called MiUI in December. This upgrade is intended to deliver a more efficient, user-friendly and secure experience for employers and third-party administrators (TPAs).
Why it matters: MiUI officially launches Dec. 15, with certain MiWAM functions phasing out Nov. 7-Dec. 5, 2025. This includes eRegistration, business transfers and seasonal employer applications. Employers and TPAs should complete the following steps in MiWAM prior to shutdowns:
- Confirm your Employer MiWAM account is active
- Review and update contact information, payment methods and user permissions
- Verify your employer or TPA account administrators
- Access your MiUI activation code through MiWAM
Go deeper: Employers and TPAs can find more information and resources about UIA’s new computer system implementation at MiUI University.
