As you may be aware, the Michigan Senate passed SB 114 yesterday and it included an extension of, (and a slight increase to), the direct care worker premium pay rate for workers who provide support to Michiganders with mental health and/or developmental disabilities. Now we need the House to concur. If you are a constituent of Representative Wentworth, or Representative Albert, please call or email them today and ask for their support. Their support is considered to be critical.
Be sure to include your address so they’ll know you are one of their constituents.
Below, find links to material you may find helpful when you call or email.
