What is going on with Michigan Unemployment?

I was just talking to a friend who moved there a couple years ago. She is a massage therapist. She has been waiting six weeks just for an approval of benefits. She was in tears at having no income for so long. She said at least the stimulus check covered her May rent. But Damn.....6 weeks? 6 weeks and no telling how many more it will take. Here in Mass, my bf was approved immediately when he did his application online.
