Payment Information

The $75 Rewards incentive for completing the health questionnaire will be paid before taxes within your U-­M paycheck. It may take up to 60 days for a payment to be made.

On your paycheck, you will see an additional line item under the "Hours and Earnings" section entitled "Rewards Payment,” which indicates your $75 payment for completing MHealthy Rewards (in 2024, this includes completing the health questionnaire and setting a goal on the MHealthy Portal). Please note, if you are paid bi-weekly you may see two line items for $37.50.

If the payment shows up in the YTD (year to date) column, then this payment has already been processed on a previous paycheck. If it is in the Current column, then your payment has occurred on the paycheck you are viewing.

To see your MHealthy Rewards payment, please log into Wolverine Access to view your paycheck or call the Shared Service Call Center at (734) 615-2000.
