Unemployment benefits in Wyoming
Unemployment insurance in Wyoming is a Michigan program, filed with the state agency rather than with Kent County. The weekly amount and the number of weeks come from state law, and both are below.

Does Wyoming have its own rule?
No. MCL 421.27; Michigan UIA applies across Michigan, so a claim from Wyoming is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is which workforce office you deal with in person and how busy it is — not the weekly amount or the number of weeks.
What the statute says
MCL 421.27; Michigan UIA — Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency. 2026 figures: the maximum rose to $530/week on January 1, 2026 and the dependent amount to $19.33 each (up to five dependents), under the 2025 reform law that also restored 26 weeks. Scheduled to rise again to $614 and $26/dependent in 2027.
