Scammers are contacting taxpayers while pretending to be from the Michigan Department of Treasury, using out‑of‑state phone numbers. They may request payments or attempt to trick you into providing your bank account information. Always verify the source before sharing any personal or financial details.
Can I still use my energy draft that includes the name of my deceased spouse?
Yes, you can still use the draft. In the event your heat provider does not accept it, you may return the draft. Return the draft with a letter explaining why it cannot be used and request a replacement. Write "Void" across the front and include supporting documentation (death certificate, lease agreement, property tax statements, etc.) and your daytime phone number.
