LANSING (WOOD) - The state says it has finished adding money to all of the debit cards of 85,000 Michigan food assistance recipients and families who temporarily went without the aid this week.
Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget spokesman Kurt Weiss released a statement Saturday morning saying:
As of 11:22 a.m. today, the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) has completed the process of restoring food assistance benefits to all Bridge Cards that were impacted by an error that was discovered on Thursday. There we no errors in the restoration process.
All food assistance is back on the normal schedule and all recipients can now plan for on-time receipt of the benefit.
The issue was caused by an employee error.
Recipients with ID numbers ending in "0" discovered money wasn't on their cards Thursday as expected.
About 10% of Michigan's food assistance recipients have been affected by the problem.
