Michigan’s unemployed will receive an additional $300 per week as a result of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signing Senate Bill 745 into law on Tuesday afternoon.

The bill will appropriate $2.8 billion in supplemental funding from federal revenues awarded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. No additional action on the part of those individuals currently receiving unemployment is required to receive the additional $300 per week.
