Another 20 weeks have just been added, along with the extra 300 until March 13th
That being said here in Michigan I highly doubt that most restaurant workers received the max (362 a week), since many were part time and the wait staff only getting a fraction of min. wage.

On December 27, 2020, the Continued Assistance for Unemployed Workers Act, referred to as the Continued Assistance Act (CAA) was signed into federal law. The CAA is an extension of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), and in part, provides for an extension of Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC). FPUC provides an additional $300 per week in supplemental benefits to eligible individuals. FPUC is payable for the weeks ending January 2, 2021 through the week ending March 13, 2021.
Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) records show you have established a claim for unemployment benefits. Therefore, this notice is to advise that in addition to your weekly benefit amount, provided that you receive at least $1.00 in unemployment weekly compensation benefits, you are eligible to receive an additional $300 per week in Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC). The additional $300 will be paid along with your weekly benefit entitlement and will be retroactively paid for the week ending January 2, 2021. The additional $300 per week will end when your benefit entitlement expires or the week ending March 13, 2021, whichever one comes first. You do not need to do anything additional to qualify for FPUC; however, you must continue to certify bi-weekly and be eligible to receive the payment.
It is expected that payment of the additional $300 will begin the week ending January 16, 2021; however, it may take longer. Therefore, there is no need to contact the UIA for updates. For updated information, you are encouraged to monitor your Michigan Web Account Manager (MiWAM). If you do not have a MiWAM account, you can create an account online at

Thank you for your patience as we work to get you paid as soon as possible.
