Budget cuts approved by the U.S. House of Representatives would close Michigan Works service centers.
The service centers are where people go to file for unemployment and can get training, education or use the Michigan Talent Bank.
The U.S. House budget proposal eliminates the federal funding that supports the centers.
Luanne Dunsford is the CEO of Michigan Works.
"If the house resolution goes through the funding for Michigan Works would be eliminated. The Michigan Works system serves over 3 million customers a year and our question is, where would those people go?
The U.S. House and the Senate are now negotiating budget proposals to decide the fate of several federal programs, including the Workforce Reinvestment Act which funds Michigan Works.
We want to get a better understanding of the kinds of services offered by Michigan Works. If you've used Michigan Works, what services did you use and what did you think of them?
