If you are approved to receive even $1 from the state- then you can also expect to receive the additional $600 from the feds each week.. at least, that’s how it’s worked for everyone I’ve talked to during the shutdown who’s gotten approved for any amount of unemployment benefits, in several different states, including myself.
And if there is any ‘back pay’ that you’re entitled to, meaning each week since your job elimination/reduction that you should have been paid UI- then it might all hit your bank account at once.. i talked to a coworker in Wisconsin last week who was really stressed out b/c she hadn’t received a dime .. then the next morning she woke up to $4,800.00 in unemployment direct deposits, dating back to March.. . from what I’ve heard anecdotally though, the ‘back pay’ thing seems to vary by state.. this info comes from the half-dozen or so family and friends I’ve talked to over the last couple months who've gotten laid off.
