LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial Services (DIFS) joins the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency (MVAA) in spotlighting the benefits and opportunities available to veterans and active service members for Military Appreciation Month.

DIFS says eligible veterans wishing to become insurance agents can be reimbursed for the department’s examination fees. Those with questions are asked to reach out to DIFS by calling 877-999-6442 or emailing DIFS-Licensing@michigan.gov.

We’re told discounts on insurance are also available through many insurance companies. Get in touch with your insurance agent or provider for more information.

“All Americans are indebted to the brave men and women who make personal sacrifices to protect our way of life,” says Anita Fox, director of DIFS. “The leadership and skills that service members bring home with them make them ideal candidates for the great careers and benefits that we have available for them here at DIFS regulating the state’s financial services and insurance sectors.”

Anyone with questions regarding insurance or other services may call DIFS at 877-999-6442 or submit a complaint online.
