Michigan Office of Retirement Services Details Payment Procedures and Penalties for Reporting Units

Michigan Office of Retirement Services Details Payment Procedures and Penalties for Reporting Units

The Michigan Office of Retirement Services (ORS) has outlined its procedures for reporting units regarding retirement plan contributions, emphasizing the importance of timely payments and the consequences of missed deadlines. The ORS funds the retirement plan through various sources, including employer and employee contributions, payments for years of service (YOS), and investment earnings. Reporting units are mandated to make payments to ORS according to a specific schedule and must meet all deadlines. Failure to do so will result in the ORS charging late fees and interest, as required by Public Act 300 of 1980. The process involves reporting units matching their records with ORS records, which are based on payroll reports and payments. The ORS provides a 'Recent Activity' page for daily updates and a 'Pay Cycle Statement' which locks on day 7 for final payment calculations. Payment errors, such as payments going to the wrong account, require a written request for a cash correction via email to ORS_Web_Re...

Michigan Expands Mental Health Crisis Services and 988 Lifeline Support Through New State Contracts

New state contracts are set to significantly expand mental health crisis services in Michigan, primarily through Common Ground, an Oakland County-based nonprofit. This funding, provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, will enable Common Ground to continue its existing operations and serve as a national backup for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline program. The organization has observed a consistent annual increase of 10 to 15% in call volume, indicating a growing demand for mental health support. Common Ground also manages the Frontline Strong Together program, which offers a specialized hotline for first responders and their families.

The organization's 2025 annual report indicated that it assisted over 200,000 individuals in crisis across Michigan, answering 26,500 calls th...
