Michigan HB5145 mandates verifiable documentation for identity, income, and Michigan residency for public assistance eligibility.

Michigan HB5145 amends the public assistance program to require verifiable documentation for identity, income, and Michigan residency. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services must update its MI Bridges online application portal to mandate the upload of specific documents before determining eligibility. Acceptable documents include driver licenses, pay stubs, and utility bills. If the required documents are unavailable, alternative documents such as benefit letters or employer verifications are accepted.
