Bill > HB4758

This bill establishes a comprehensive reemployment support program for dislocated federal employees and veterans in Michigan, focusing on helping these individuals find new employment after involuntary job loss. The bill defines a "dislocated federal employee" as someone who involuntarily lost their federal job between January 20, 2025, and January 20, 2027, and covers veterans as well. Each Michigan works agency (local workforce development organizations) will be required to create a dedicated team that provides multiple reemployment services, including analyzing job opportunities with public and private employers that match the individual's previous work experience, evaluating the person's transferable skills, and referring them to potential employers. The services also include assistance with filing for unemployment benefits under the Michigan employment security act. Additionally, all state departments and agencies must help identify and support eligible dislocated federal employees and veterans by cooperating with the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity and local Michigan works agencies. The bill aims to provide structured, comprehensive support to help these workers quickly transition to new employment opportunities.
