The Michigan House of Representatives has approved a proposal introduced by State Representative Ron Robinson (R–Utica) to create the Michigan National Guard Member Benefit Fund. The measure, House Bill 4962, aims to provide ongoing support for benefit programs dedicated to members of the Michigan National Guard.
The proposed fund will be managed by the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs. According to the bill, funds will be invested and preserved each year. Once appropriated, the fund is intended to offer sustained support for tuition assistance, childcare initiatives, and Tricare reimbursement for Guard members and their families.
“Our National Guard members answer the call whenever duty arises, whether that is serving overseas, responding to natural disasters here at home, or protecting our communities in times of crisis,” said Robinson. “This plan makes sure they do not have to carry the burden of service alone. By funding tuition assistance, childcare, and Tricare reimbursement, we are giving Guard members and their families the stability they need and the recognition they deserve. This is about standing firmly behind those who stand for us.”
