Bauserman, et al. v. Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency

On September 5, 2015, the State of Michigan Court of Claims filed this class action suit record regarding the State of Michigan Unemployment System (MiDAS) and its automated decision-making methods to detect benefit fraud. The suit was brought by Michigan Unemployment benefit applicants and participants claiming that MiDAS deprives Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) claimants of due process and fair and just treatment by determining guilt without providing notice, proof, or affording claimants the opportunity to be heard before penalties are imposed . . .
