One of the programs helping Michiganders get unemployment benefits is coming to an end this week.
The Extended Benefits program is going away after April 17, meaning roughly 16,000 people in Michigan must either hope they’re eligible for a different program or will be tossed off unemployment after this week.
The program is going away because Michigan’s unemployment rate has dipped below the triggers that activate the program, via federal and state law.
