Last month Congress approved a Covid-19 stimulus package signed by President Donald Trump that will give a $300 a week bump to those unemployed caused by the pandemic. Some unemployed Michiganders have already started receiving their $300. Others have not. As a matter of fact, some Michiganders are not receiving any benefits at all.
