Understanding the Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP)
The Michigan Assigned Claims Plan (MACP) helps individuals who are injured in a car accident but have no applicable auto insurance. Created in 1973 and now administered by the Michigan Automobile Insurance Placement Facility (MAIPF), MACP ensures that injured parties still receive necessary no-fault benefits.
Who Is Covered by the MACP?
MACP provides personal injury protection (PIP) benefits for people injured due to the use of a motor vehicle when no coverage is available. It includes:
- Passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists
- Motorcyclists involved in a crash with an uninsured motor vehicle
- Drivers or occupants of uninsured vehicles
How to File a Michigan Assigned Claims Plan Claim
To start your claim:
- Complete the official MACP claim form
- Submit supporting documentation such as police reports or EMS records
- Send all materials within one year of the accident date
You can file online through the MAIPF website.

MACP Benefits After Michigan Auto Reform (2020)
Following Michigan’s no-fault reform on July 1, 2020:
- Drivers who opt out of PIP and lose health coverage have 30 days to select a new limit; during that time, MACP will cover up to $2 million.
- After 30 days without PIP or health insurance, coverage ends entirely.
- Motorcyclists coverage is now only up to the limits of the other vehicle’s policy.
- Uninsured pedestrians and bicyclists have a new limit of $250,000 in PIP through MACP.
Why It’s Important to Maintain Auto Coverage
Don’t rely on MACP as your only safety net. Keeping valid Michigan auto insurance ensures you’re fully protected and avoids the limited coverage caps that apply to assigned claims.
