Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Social Welfare Act that tells the state department to watch bridge card transaction data for long periods of out‑of‑state use. If a recipient’s card is used outside Michigan for more than 90 consecutive days, the department must suspend the card until the person contacts the department and proves they still live in the state or remain eligible for benefits. The goal is to keep the state’s food assistance program focused on Michigan residents.
