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.
The $300 payments were announced by the Michigan Unemployment Insurance Agency on January 11th, noting that the $300 bump a week is currently only going out to those on the Extended Benefits Program. The stimulus package also covers an extension on the Pandemic Assistance & Emergency Unemployment Compensation programs and the problem is, Michigan hasn t completed the update needed to bring the pay out to its recipients yet.
