Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to get legislative approval before waiving federal work requirements for certain assistance programs. It would also prevent the department from using a specific state option to exempt people from these work requirements, though it would still allow for good cause exemptions for temporary absences from work.
