Whitmer Applied for Additional Federal Unemployment Aid Adding An Additional $300 Per Eligible Person

(CBS Detroit ) - Governor Whitmer applied for additional federal unemployment aid for the state on Tuesday.

This will give an additional $300 to each eligible person.

In addition to the $362 Michigan already gives to the unemployed.

Whitmer declined the extra $100 state match the trump administration said states could do.

Most states say they are unable to match those extra funds.
