Michigan attacks assistance for state’s unemployed and vulnerable
residents

In a case
similar to the “robo-fraud” scandal that saw tens of thousands improperly
thrown off their state unemployment benefits and hounded for repayment, the
Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has denied food support to
thousands of eligible claimants.
The attack
on claimants takes place under conditions where the state of Michigan has been
drastically curtailing unemployment insurance benefits and Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, also known as food stamps.
Over the
last several years, just as happened at the Michigan Unemployment Insurance
Agency (UIA), a computer program used at the Michigan Department of Health and
Human Services (MDHHS) improperly denied food assistance to eligible claimants.
The computer program used databases that erroneously matched some SNAP food
assistance recipients to fleeing felon warrants, triggering a cut-off of
benefits.
It was not
until late August 2016 that a federal appeals court ruled against the MDHHS on
the matter over objections by lawyers for the state, who were determined to
stiff recipients. At one point in the SNAP case lawyers for the administration
of Republican Governor Rick Snyder argued the state was not responsible for
errors on the law enforcement database they used and so should not have to pay
claimants.
MDHHS was
ordered by a federal judge in Cincinnati to pay $3,120 lump sum payments to
18,700 people unjustly cut off benefits. By late April 2017 the state claimed
it had found and paid 15,000 people upwards of $47 million.
The class
action suit in the parallel “robo-fraud” UIA case is still pending. It was
filed against the state in September 2015 by Royal Oak attorney Jennifer Lord
and is expected to finally be heard this month.
Little has
been paid back to those UIA claimants owed money by the state. By late 2016,
$5.4 million had been returned to just 2,571 claimants while the UIA Contingent
Fund, where money from improper fines levied in UIA cases composed a
substantial part of the revenue, went from $3.1 million in 2011 to $160 million
in 2016.
The UIA
unemployment benefits scandal has a sinister tie in to the tax cuts already
doled out so freely to businesses in the state. Earlier this year Governor
Snyder signed a bill authorizing the diversion of $10 million from the
Contingent Fund to fill a hole in the state’s general budget, which has been
chronically starved for funds due to tax cuts to big business.
The stories
in the SNAP legal brief are as harrowing as those found in Lord’s UIA
complaint. For example, one mentally disabled man was cut off food benefits
when he was erroneously tied to a 1989 felony warrant —an undisputed case of
mistaken identity. Nevertheless his benefits were cancelled several times
despite the efforts of advocates who undertook individual appeals on his
behalf.
The details
outlined in the ongoing UIA class action suit are equally shocking. From August
2013 until late 2015 a computer program in the state’s Unemployment Insurance
Agency (UIA) flagged unemployed workers as perpetrators of “civil fraud”
related to unemployment benefits they received as far back as 2007.
In February
of this year an audit conducted by UIA itself showed a 93 percent error rate in
31,000 of the UIA cases where fraud determinations were made solely as the
result of a computer program. Another tranche of 28,000 cases had some human
input after the computer program initially flagged them. So far among the
latter group where fraud was alleged, a whopping 44 percent error rate has been
detected.
The false
determinations of civil fraud were devastating to the workers charged. They
were the basis for egregious penalties in the form of 12 percent interest fees
and fines of four hundred percent on benefits they received.
Lives were
shattered by punitive actions that followed the false-fraud charges. Many of
the accused workers were unaware they were even victims until their income was
targeted by aggressive collection tactics on the part of state officials. Wages
were garnished, tax returns seized, future benefits denied. One lawyer noted
the dramatic uptick in bankruptcy cases involving victims of the false fraud
charges. Another law office involved in unemployment cases set up a hotline for
clients contemplating suicide.
The improper
denial of benefits by the state goes hand in hand with the gutting of social
supports at the state and federal level. With Medicaid under assault now in
Washington, and ongoing changes at the state level across the country, the
post-war social safety net is being assaulted from all sides.
In 2011, Michigan
imposed a five-year lifetime limit on cash welfare relief. TANF goes solely to
families with children at home. With the new policy left in place after back
benefits were temporarily restored in some cases, the number of TANF recipients
in Michigan as a whole continued to fall. There were 46,500 cash welfare
recipients in Michigan in May 2017, down from about 162,500 in December 2011.
There are
roughly 1.5 million currently on SNAP in Michigan. SNAP is a federally funded
program administered by states. Because many no longer qualify for curtailed
UIA benefits in the first place, a large proportion of Michigan workers exist
on only SNAP food assistance benefits during periods of layoff.
Late last
year, DHHS notified 15,000 SNAP recipients in four counties that their benefits
would be terminated if they did not comply with the state’s decision to demand
work requirements under a federal SNAP option. A news release at the time from
MDHHS indicated a work requirement allowed under federal law would be implemented
across the state some time before the fall of 2018.
Workers in
part-time contingent and low-wage jobs will face a double penalty as these
policies unfold. First, during the periods when they are without work, which
now occur with alarming regularity, they could lose the SNAP benefits they
currently rely on for subsistence. Such low-paid workers are often disqualified
from receiving state unemployment benefits because their hours or pay are too
low to meet benchmarks for the program.
Further, as
anyone who has ever applied for government assistance knows, the onerous
qualifications and paperwork required to get SNAP contain trip wires designed
to allow recipients to be disqualified.
Just
accounting for fluctuating work hours to match monthly SNAP awards is a
challenge. Those who manage to qualify get only 20 weeks UIA in total, and many
may face destitution without some additional support coming in.
70% OF ILLEGALS GET WELFARE!

“According to the Centers for
Immigration Studies, April '11, at least 70% of Mexican illegal alien families
receive some type of welfare in the US!!! cis.org”

So when cities across the
country declare that they will NOT be sanctuary, guess where ALL the illegals,
criminals, gang members fleeing ICE will go???? straight to your welcoming
city. So ironically the people fighting for sanctuary city status, may have an
unprecedented crime wave to deal with along with the additional expense.

$200 Billion Dollars a year
in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
“But as American sanctuary
cities flouted Federal law and encouraged illegal immigration after 1980, those
working in the U.S. started to wire transfer money back to their families in
amounts that became so large that by the late 1990s remittances to Mexico were
the second largest source of foreign revenues, second only to oil revenues.”
