Ever since the signing of President Biden’s The American Rescue Plan on March 11, the Charlotte Center for Legal Advocacy, an organization dedicated to providing those in need with information, advice and resources, has seen a large uptick in calls.

DETROIT, MI (MPRN) More than 10,000 Michiganders lost unemployment benefits over the weekend.
Michigan officials say about 16,000 people were receiving extra unemployment benefits beyond the typical amount available from the state. But the Extended Benefits program that offers as many as 20 weeks of additional payments only continues if a state has an average unemployment rate of 6.5 percent over three consecutive months. Michigan’s unemployment is now below that threshold.
State officials say Michiganders could still be eligible for additional federal benefits. Funds from the Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation program or Pandemic Unemployment Assistance granted to contract workers who typically don’t qualify for benefits are available until the first week of September in Michigan.
