Apply For Benefits Online Via MI Bridges

If you live in the state of Michigan and are having a tough time economically, you should consider applying for benefits, such as Food Assistance, Energy Services, or others. MI Bridges is an online service hosted by the Department of Human Services of the state of Michigan, to facilitate the application of benefits for people in need.

For a faster delivery of benefits, Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) has been used. As a beneficiary, you will receive a debit card named Michigan Bridge Card. Your benefits will be transferred electronically to the card every month. And you can use it at thousands of merchants and ATMs.
