With the COVID-19 pandemic affecting the state's workforce, the Michigan Department of Treasury is offering collections assistance to newly unemployed Michiganders currently paying on past-due state tax debts or other state debts.
Effective immediately, individuals who have been laid off or had their place of employment closed due to COVID-19 should reach out to see what options are available. To receive assistance, individuals are encouraged to contact Treasury's Collections Service Center at 517-636-5265.
"Our first and foremost priority is the health and safety of Michiganders," State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. "If you are currently unemployed or are facing other hardships due to the COVID-19 emergency and are paying on a state tax debt, please contact us so we can work with you during this difficult situation."
