LANSING, Mich. — Governor Gretchen Whitmer has confirmed auto insurance refund checks are already hitting some bank accounts.

• Eligible Michigan policyholders will receive $400 per vehicle or $80 per historic vehicle.
• Refunds must be delivered in the form of checks or ACH deposits. Gift cards, premium discounts, and credits against current or future balances are not allowed.
