Create Account – MILogin

MILogin is a new single sign on system that connects your unemployment account through the Michigan Web Account Manager (MiWAM) and your jobseeker account through Pure Michigan Talent Connect (PMTC). You must create MILogin account before you can create or access your MiWAM account. If you have already created a MILogin account through another department, you simply need to log in and link your MiWAM account before you can access your MiWAM account. 

MILogin is for new and existing users of PMTC and MiWAM “must” create an account with MILogin for Citizens single sign-on. With MILogin for Citizens, customers can then access PMTC or MiWAM.
