Michiganders can now get help with expunging eligible convictions from their criminal record to aid them in their pursuit of full-time employment thanks to the new Clean Slate Pilot program.
Setting aside a conviction, sometimes called expungement of criminal records, will remove a specific conviction from a public criminal record. If returning citizens get an order setting aside their conviction, they can legally state on any job or school application that they have never been convicted of or arrested for that crime.
These services are offered throughout the state by Michigan Works! agencies. Visit MichiganWorks.org to find the service center nearest you.
