Michigan Storm Victims Get Cash Back | Lansing News

If you lost power in Michigan’s recent storms, you might be owed up to $84 in automatic utility credits—$42 for the first extended outage, plus $42 for each additional day. The state upgraded this program last year, boosting it from a one-time $25 credit and adjusting it for inflation, to pressure utilities like DTE to better prepare for outages. Critics say $42 won’t cover spoiled food or lost wages, while lawmakers and the Attorney General urge residents to report outages and claim what’s owed. DTE confirms credits are being applied automatically—and apologizes for the disruptions. The state’s pushing for grid improvements, but for now, this cash back is your lifeline.
