I'm buying the bare minimum and have cancelled/cut down everything I can. I'm just praying my savings will last until I can reopen fully. 2-3 kids a week is some money coming in but I can't keep the business running and survive on that for long.
I’m in Michigan too. The PUA application is on the unemployment site. I have already applied and its been approved. On Monday I should be able to certify for the last 2 weeks and hopefully will be getting paid. I’m not sure if I’ll be getting help from the state yet or not. I was denied but it’s being reviewed now.
