Filing for unemployment and reporting unemployment claims takes time. Though MARVIN Unemployment and MiWAM Unemployment have helped to streamline the unemployment reporting process, it may still be a hassle for business owners state-wide.
In December of 2025, Michigan’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate remained at 5%. The national unemployment rate was 4.4%.
We want to help. Advanced Micro Solutions can aid in unemployment reporting through the UIA 1028, as well as a range of other Michigan-specific tax and wage reporting forms. See just how much we can help move along an otherwise tedious and time-consuming process.
What is MARVIN Unemployment and MiWAM Unemployment?
Applying for unemployment in Michigan is made simple through the implementation of MARVIN. MARVIN, or Michigan’s Automated Response Voice Interactive Network, is a system that allows you to communicate with the UIA’s computer via telephone. The system is:
- Available eleven hours each day, six days per week
- Capable of making unemployment claims fast and easy
To phone in your bi-weekly claim or ask questions, Michigan residents need only to call the statewide, toll-free telephone number: 1-866-638-3993.
Although MARVIN streamlines unemployment reporting, and MiWAM Unemployment allows you to manage your unemployment account online, you will likely continue needing the UIA support. That is where we can assist you.
AMS offers support for UIA 1028, the Employer’s Quarterly Wage/Tax Report form.
No matter your UIA tax and wage reporting needs, our software can simplify the process.
