This bulletin supersedes Bulletin 2025-18-INS, dated July 31, 2025.
Section 3107(1)(b) of the Insurance Code, MCL 500.3107(1)(b), requires that the Director annually adjust
the maximum work loss benefit payable under policies of personal protection insurance.
Section 3108 of the Insurance Code, MCL 500.3108, establishes the maximum benefit payable for
survivors’ loss, which is also to be adjusted annually by the Director.
The adjustments are to be made pursuant to Administrative Rule R 500.811 and reflect changes in the cost
of living. Each adjustment is to be effective on October 1 of that year and is to apply only to benefits arising

September 30, 2027, shall not exceed $7,455 per single 30-day period. This maximum shall apply pro rata
to any lesser period of work loss.
The maximum work loss and survivors’ loss benefits per single 30-day period for recent years are as
follows:
October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026 ---- $7,201
