Michigan Child Support Program Launches MiCase Web Site
May 15, 2009
Parents who pay or receive child support in Michigan now have a convenient and secure Web site to review their payment and case information - www.michigan.gov/MiCase.
The MiCase Web site provides custodial and non-custodial parents access to individual child support account information, while reducing the state's costs for providing this information. Parents can view online payment summaries, amounts owed, child support case information, scheduled hearing dates and Friend of the Court contact information.
Parents who want to use MiCase can follow the directions on the Web site to sign up for an account. Within a few days of signing up, they will receive their MiCase ID and secure password in the mail. The ID and password are required to access information about each person's individual child support case on the Web site.
"Consistently paying child support ensures that children have a good safety net and can avoid poverty," said Ismael Ahmed, director of the Department of Human Services. "Our aim is to make the process as convenient as possible for families."
MiCase is another tool to improve customer service in the child support program. Employers who assist in collecting child support from non-custodial payments use online and phone payment options. Parents can use automatic deposits or debit cards to receive payments and search the online database for unclaimed child support money at http://www.michigan.gov/childsupport
"We want to make the process of paying, receiving and accounting of child support as easy as possible for parents," said Marilyn Stephen, director of the Michigan Office of Child Support. "MiCase continues our commitment to offer the most cost-effective tools for our customers."

Governor Jennifer Granholm In Hamtramck
On April 22, 2009 at the Hamtramck City Library, Governor Jennifer Granholm was introduced by Mayor Karen Majewski to present the state's economic recovery plan.
What is more importantly overlooked is the Governor's ability to transform the state office into one of outstretched arms. Not only does the Governor possess the ability to travel around the world to invite new economies to the state, but she can, while talking to the people of Hamtramck, reach out to Washington, to remind us that we are important in the rebuilding of the future of the nation and the world.
If you were not able to attend the event, you can always send your comments and concerns directly to the Governor at:
http://www.michigan.gov/gov/0,1607,7-168-21995-65331--,00.html
or here for constituent services:

Help To Stop Lead Poisoning In Homes
Detroit Free Press
April 22, 2009
The Wayne County Health Department is among groups sponsoring two dinner meetings on lead abatement for residents and landlords in Highland Park and Hamtramck.
The two cities were selected for the informational meetings because they have some of the highest percentages of homes built before 1950 in the state. Older houses put residents at higher risk of exposure to lead.
The meetings, at which pizza and pop will be served, are to run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. The Hamtramck meeting is to be April 30 at Peoples Community Center, 8625 Jos. Campau Ave. The Highland Park meeting is to be May 7 at Ernest T. Ford Recreation Center, 10 Pitkin.
