About 625,000 people are in the Healthy Michigan Plan, and adults 19 to 64 will need to show 80 hours a month of work, school or volunteering, or $580 in earnings, unless they qualify for an exemption. The rules start Jan. 1, with most current members first checked at renewals on or after March 1. The state's MI WEST screener shows whether you're exempt or already meet the rules.
