The policy extends the duration of unemployment benefits from 20 weeks to 26 and expands the application period from 14 days to 28. In-person registration and work search requirements are currently suspended.

Whitmer also announced an order Sunday that temporarily restricts price gouging on goods, materials and emergency supplies.

"If a business or individual has acquired any product from a retailer, the business or individual must not resell that product in Michigan at a price that is grossly in excess of the purchase price of the product," according to a press release.

This order prevents any business or individual from selling a product for 20% higher than item's original price as of March 9. It went into effect Monday at 9:00 am. and will continue until April 13 at 11:59 pm.

“We will continue to take every measure we can to mitigate the spread of coronavirus and protect Michigan families,” Whitmer said in the statement. “In these challenging times, we need to come together as Michiganders. This order will help protect consumers from price gouging. Additionally, I'm working jointly with the Attorney General to enforce these orders, to protect consumers, and to hold bad actors accountable. We will get through this together.”
