(WXYZ) — The Michigan Department of Treasury is offering collections assistance to Michiganders who have been recently unemployed with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“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.”
