1. Today is the deadline for auto insurance companies to send out refund checks from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association.
The $400 checks started going out in March. The refunds are going to policyholders for every vehicle that was insured by October 31, 2021.
As of one week ago, Governor Whitmer's office said roughly three-quarters of eligible people had received their checks.
If you are eligible, and you still haven't received your refund by the end of the day today, you're advised to reach out to your insurance company.
2. Costco has ended what may be considered a little-remembered benefit that came with its memberships.
As of May 1, the company has stopped offering its mortgage program for store members.

However, another major superstore is still continuing its mortgage service. Walmart is lending space to lenders in stores to sell mortgage services and products.

The little girl's father, who is also the coach, sees this and picks her up to get her back on the right track.
The good news is, that she makes it to first base with a little extra help from dad.
