Whitmer expands eligibility for unemployment benefits amid coronavirus outbreak

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer expanded who can file for unemployment as well as benefits. 

Those out of work caring for family members, either because they are sick or because of school closures, can now apply for benefits, according to the governor's office. Also, workers who are "sick, quarantined or immunocompromised" and who don't have paid family and medical leave or are laid off are eligible.
