Human services: food assistance; monitoring and tracking out-of-state use of the Michigan bridge card; require. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 14n.
This bill requires the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to track how often recipients use their food assistance cards in other states. If a card is used outside of Michigan for more than 90 consecutive days, the department must suspend the card unless the recipient contacts them to prove they still live in the state or qualify for benefits. The rule applies to all individuals receiving aid through the Michigan Bridge Card program and aims to ensure funds are used by residents within the state.
