Hi, I'm calling to ask about your services.
My name is [your name], and I'm interested in the MI Bridges Benefits Portal program.
I wanted to ask whether there are any requirements I should know about, such as Varies by program; Medicaid up to 138% FPL for adults, Michigan residents?
I also wanted to confirm your current hours. I see Online 24/7; phone support business hours. Is that still accurate?
And just to confirm — is this service free of charge?
What is the best way to get started? I see apply online at newmibridges.michigan.gov or call for phone assistance.
Thank you so much for your help.
