Bridge Card update from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services:
"Michigan's Bridge Card (EBT) is getting an upgrade with new chip and tap-to-pay technology to better protect food and cash assistance benefits. These upgrades are intended to help reduce fraud and better protect food and cash assistance benefits for Michigan residents.
• To ensure the new Bridge Card is delivered to the correct address, recipients should visit MI Bridges or call 1-844-464-3447 to make sure their mailing address is up to date by Friday, August 7th.
• New cards will be mailed to recipients automatically in 3 waves between August and September 2026. The current Bridge Card will continue to work until the new Bridge Card arrives in the mail and is activated. The old card can be discarded when the new card is activated. Existing magnetic-stripe cards will completely stop working on Friday, Oct. 30.
• If cards are not received by Friday, Sept. 25 please visit MI Bridges or call 1-888-678-8914 to verify the mailing address.
• There is no cost to receive a new chip- and tap-enabled Bridge Card. However, per Michigan law, a recipient is responsible to pay for the costs to replace a Bridge Card. The replacement fee for the new card is $5.51, which is deducted from recipients’ available benefits.
If you have any questions, please contact the Department's office at 1-844-464-3447.

Michigan is bracing for new Republican requirements that could kick more people off Medicaid coverage, but MI Dems took action in this year’s budget to help smooth the transition so more people can keep the healthcare they need.
Way too many Michiganders are just one illness away from a personal financial crisis. That’s why I’ve fought tooth and nail to protect Medicaid from cuts.

Limit your time outside as much as possible to preserve your health. If you must go outside, consider a KN95 mask or something similar.

Thank you again for the wonderful tour, and I am excited to see your continued investments in our communities and your support of everyday people.
