Attention: Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) Unit
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Michigan Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1) All reports regarding Work Opportunity Tax Credits certified in 2019 and 2020 provided to the US Department of Labor, including forms 9058.
2) Any database tracking Work Opportunity Tax Credit certifications which is created or maintained by your department or by any third party vendor under contract with your department, preferably in .csv or .xlsx format. If it is easier, the database can be limited to the calendar or fiscal years ending in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
3) The most recent of any contracts with third party vendors to track WOTC certifications.
My goal is to ascertain which businesses and industries are applying for and/or receiving Work Opportunity Tax Credits, for which categories of employees and which occupations. If a conversation could help narrow or expedite the completion of this request, I am available at 802 233 4992 and emily_corwin@harvard.edu.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Emily Corwin

You are correct, unfortunately the Muckrock system I used to send this request erroneously sent several duplicates. I have only 1 request for public records regarding WOTC.
My apologies for any confusion, and thanks for your assistance.

To whom it may concern:
Under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act § 15.231 et seq., I request to review the following documents:
* Any and all communication sent by former UIA Director Steve Gray in April 2020 and May 2020 containing the terms “PUA,” “pandemic unemployment assistance,” “Department of Labor,” “UIPL,” “Unemployment Insurance Program Letters” or “DOL”.
Since this is a matter of public interest and information I gather may be used in a news story, we request that you waive any fees. Absent that, please advise me, in advance, if the cost exceeds $50 and what the fees specifically are according to statute guidelines.
If you need to reach me, my telephone number is (517) 371‐3661 and my e‐mail address is eleblanc@detroitnews.com<mailto:eleblanc@detroitnews.com>. I request that you communicate with me regarding the status of this request via email rather than through mail.
