Employment security: administration; discontinuation of fraud detection software by the unemployment insurance agency; prohibit. Amends 1936 (Ex Sess) PA 1 (MCL 421.1 - 421.75) by adding sec. 32e.

HB 5098 prevents Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency from stopping its fraud detection software except for brief, documented maintenance needed to keep the system running. The bill requires the agency to immediately restore the software after any maintenance and limits such maintenance to what's strictly necessary. This directly affects the agency's operations and people filing unemployment claims, as the software helps identify potentially fraudulent applications. The law amends Michigan's Employment Security Act to mandate continuous use of the fraud detection tools, with specific rules for temporary maintenance periods.
