Democratic Caucuses Introduced Recovery Plan

Feb 26, 2021

This week, House and Senate Democratic members unveiled the Hardworking Michiganders Recovery Plan, which aims to help families and ensure no worker is left behind during the ongoing pandemic. Specifics within the plan, include:

- Increases the weekly maximum for unemployment benefits from $362 to $593, and one year later restores indexing this figure to 58% of the state average weekly wage annually.
- Expands the number of benefit weeks from 20 to 26 weeks.
- Increases what unemployed workers who don’t qualify for the weekly maximum unemployment benefit receive from 4.1% to 6.1% of their highest quarter earnings.
