Missed a billing on our Michigan workers comp policy. State was notified. Was an oversight. Will they fine us?

Question

Our Michigan workers comp policy was cancelled for non-payment. We have yet to receive a billing for it or a cancellation letter from the company but they did notify the State that it was cancelled. The State sent us a letter. We could be liable for fines of up to 1000.00 a day. Are they rigid about enforcing the fines. Apparently this is a simple oversight on someones part and we reinstated the policy today.

Answer 1

The Insurance company can clear the problem if it was their mistake by notifying the State that they were incorrectly notified by them. No fines for their mistake.
