Michigan Requires New Poster for Veterans Services

Michigan has enacted a law that requires employers to display a notice about resources available to veterans. The new poster requirement takes effect April 2, 2025.

The Details

All employers with at least one full-time employee must display the notice in a conspicuous place accessible to employees. The notice must include all of the following services that are available to veterans:

• The telephone number and website for the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans Affairs
• Mental health and substance abuse services
• Education, workforce, or job training resources
• Tax benefits
• Obtaining a veteran designation on a driver’s license issued under section 310 of the Michigan vehicle code, or on an official state personal identification card
• Eligibility for unemployment benefits under state or federal law
• Legal services
• The telephone number and website for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs
• The telephone number for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs’ veterans crisis line

Under the law, the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (MDLEO) must create a model poster and make it available on its website.

Next Steps

Michigan employers should ensure they display the required notice by April 2, 2025.
