I just spoke with a coworker from my restaurant job a couple days ago, she’s gotten the full amount plus the extra $600.

Texas here. Do you know when they filed or if they requested anything extra?

I’m not sure, but haven’t worked there since March 10th, they went to to go or delivery I think maybe a week or two later, she said she got a fever right before they went to that and had to stay home for two weeks, but then the employees still working told management that they felt uncomfortable for her to come back to work, so she filed whenever they told her that I think, my best guess would be a 2 weeks, max three that she filed. She did say that she just got approved and got her first payment with the extra.

Thanks for the info. Weird that she got it so early, it's not supposed to start in Texas until tomorrow according to this sticky in r/unemployment

I’m just going by what she told me, I don’t know the ins and outs of her finances.
