Customer on active duty in military; shut-off protection.
Status: in_force

Sec. 9c.

Except as otherwise provided by this section, a provider of electric or gas service shall not discontinue the service to the residence of a qualifying customer who has made a filing under this section.

In addition to protection provided under the Michigan military act, 1967 PA 150, MCL 32.501 to 32.851, a qualifying customer may apply for shut-off protection for electric or gas service by notifying the provider that he or she is in need of assistance because of a reduction in household income as the result of a call to active duty status in the military.

A provider of service may request verification of the call to active duty status from the qualifying customer.

A qualifying customer may receive shut-off protection from the provider of service under this section for up to 90 days. Upon application to the provider, the provider may grant the qualifying customer 1 or more extensions.

A qualifying customer receiving assistance under this section shall notify the provider of the end of the call to active duty status as soon as that status is known.

Unless waived by the provider, the shut-off protection provided under this section does not void or limit the obligation of the qualifying customer to pay for electric or gas services received during the time of assistance.

A provider shall do all of the following:

Establish a repayment plan requiring minimum monthly payments that allows the qualifying customer to pay any past due amounts over a reasonable time period not to exceed 1 year.

Provide a qualifying customer with information regarding any governmental, provider, or other assistance programs.

Provide qualifying customers with access to existing information on ways to minimize or conserve their service usage.

This section does not affect or amend any commission rules or orders pertaining to billing standards. If the terms and conditions under subsection (7)(a) are not followed by the qualifying customer, the provider may follow the procedures in the commission's rules on consumer standards and billing practices for electric and gas residential service.

As used in this section, a "qualifying customer" means all of the following:

A residential household where the income is reduced because the customer of record, or the spouse of the customer of record, is called to full-time active military service by the president of the United States or the governor of this state during a time of declared national or state emergency or war.

Assistance is needed by the residential household to maintain electric and gas service.

The residential household has notified the provider of the need for assistance and, if required, has provided verification of the call to active duty status.

Cost of hearing; fees of attorneys and physicians; disagreement as to fees; application for hearing; order; review; maximum attorney fees; rules; special order awarding fees; computation of attorney fees; limitation on fees; reduction in fees.
Status: in_force

Sec. 858.

The cost of a hearing, including the cost of taking stenographic notes of the testimony presented at the hearing, not exceeding the taxable costs allowed in actions at law in the circuit courts of this state, shall be fixed by the board of magistrates and paid by the state as other expenses of the state are paid. The payment of fees for all attorneys and physicians for services under this act shall be subject to the approval of a worker's compensation magistrate. In the event of disagreement as to such fees, an interested party may apply to the bureau for a hearing. After an order by the worker's compensation magistrate, review may be had by the director if a request is filed within 15 days. Thereafter the director's order may be reviewed by the appellate commission on request of an interested party, if a request is filed within 15 days.

The director, by rule, may prescribe maximum attorney fees and the manner in which the amount may be determined or paid by the employee; but the maximum attorney fees prescribed by the director shall not be based upon a weekly benefit amount after coordination which is higher than 2/3 of the state average weekly wage at the time of the injury. For claims in which an application under section 847 is filed after March 31, 1986, the maximum attorney fee shall be based upon the coordinated worker's compensation benefit amount according to a contingency fee schedule, as provided for under rules promulgated pursuant to this act, but if this would result in a fee of less than $500.00, the claimant may agree to pay a sum, as specified in a written agreement between the claimant and the attorney prior to the filing of an application for hearing, so that the total fee received by the attorney would be not more than $500.00. When fees are requested in excess of that provided by rule, the director may award the fees by special order. In the computation of attorney fees for a case in which an application under section 847 is filed after March 31, 1986 and decided by the worker's compensation appellate commission, the fees shall be assessed on not more than 104 weeks of the period the matter was pending before the commission. This limitation on fees applies only to weekly compensation and does not apply to the period of time the matter was pending review before the court of appeals or supreme court.

The director is authorized to promulgate rules calling for reductions in attorney fees in cases where applications for hearing have been dismissed, or where, in the discretion of the worker's compensation magistrate, such action is appropriate.
