Didn’t Get Your Auto Insurance Refund Check Yet? You Should Have

The deadline for Michigan auto insurance companies to issue $400 vehicle insurance refunds has passed. All who had coverage for vehicles on October 31st, 2021 were eligible to receive a refund from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association surplus. The checks had to be issued by May 9th, 2022.

If you did not receive a refund, there is action that can be taken.

Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services Director Anita Fox said, “If you are eligible for a refund but have not yet received it, you should contact the auto insurer that covered your vehicle on October 31, 2021 to ensure that your refund has been issued.” 

Fox said that if a resolution with the insurance company cannot be reached, or if the refund was offered in a form other than a paper check or direct deposit, concerned insurance consumers can call DIFS at 833-ASK-DIFS Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. They can also visit Michigan.gov/MCCArefund for more information.
