Benefits Overview
EXCITING NEWS! Our benefit plans and premium contributions are staying the same for 2022!
Michigan First Credit Union remains committed to providing a competitive, cost-effective benefit program. We are pleased and excited to announce that there will be NO changes to benefit offerings NOR contribution rates for the upcoming year. Despite the tremendous increase in claims throughout the country as a result of the pandemic, we have made the decision to NOT pass on any of those increased costs to any of you. As an organization, our decision is to absorb the entire amount of the increased costs and maintain our current platform with the same contribution rates as in 2021.
Please review your 2022 Michigan First Credit Union Open Enrollment materials for information on all of your benefits.
