Sec. 42a.
If a business entity requests the unemployment agency to determine whether 1 or more individuals performing services for the entity in this state are in covered employment, the unemployment agency shall issue a determination of coverage of services performed by those individuals and any other individuals performing similar services under similar circumstances. If the unemployment agency determines that the services are in covered employment and the unemployment agency received the request on or after the effective date of the amendatory act that added this section and before January 1, 2013, wages paid for those services are qualifying wages to determine benefit entitlement with respect to the first 4 of the last 5 calendar quarters ending before the date of the determination. Benefits paid based on amounts determined as a result of this section to be wages in those calendar quarters and that are otherwise chargeable to the experience account of a contributing employer shall be charged instead to the nonchargeable benefits account. Penalties and interest accrue only on contributions or reimbursements in lieu of contributions that are assessed based on wages paid on or after the date of the determination. On and after January 1, 2013, services will be determined in employment in accordance with the provision of section 42 that applies on and after that date.
