Workforce development program provides early relief of Driver Responsibility Fee
LANSING, Mich. — Individuals with outstanding Driver Responsibility Fees can receive early fee relief by participating in a workforce development program, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
In partnership with the Michigan Works! Association and Secretary of State Ruth Johnson, individuals with outstanding Driver Responsibility Fees can enroll in a 10-hour workforce development program and have their fees waived upon completion. The program is designed to provide knowledge and training that integrates participants into the workforce effectively while promoting growth and skill diversity.
Qualifying individuals interested in participating in the program should visit their nearest Michigan Works! American Jobs Center. To find a nearby location, go to www.michiganworks.org or call 800-285-9675.
“Eliminating fees will remove financial, work-related barriers for a large number of Michiganders who are able and willing to work,” said Luann Dunsford, chief executive officer of the Michigan Works! Association.
Individuals who do not participate in a workforce development program are still responsible for paying their Driver Responsibility Fees. For payment plan options, affected persons are asked to contact the state Treasury Department at 1-800-950-6227.
Once entered into a payment plan or completing a workforce development program, individuals who have no additional license actions pending may be eligible to reinstate their driver’s license without paying a reinstatement fee through Dec. 31. All Driver Responsibility Fees will be completely relieved and no further payments will be collected after Oct. 1.
Driver Responsibility Fees have been waived for individuals who were on a payment plan on or before Feb. 1, 2018.
