LANSING, Mich. (WXYZ) â There has been talk in the legislature about getting rid of the federal $300 per week unemployment payment. However, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has a different idea.
She wants to expand how the state uses federal funds, giving it also to some Michiganders who return to work through the week of September 4th.
Governor Gretchen Whitmerâs proposal would provide the $300 in federal unemployment payments to workers taking jobs at companies that are part of the state work-share program. The goal is to get more people back in the labor market.
