$275 x 12 = $3300

I'm pretty sure everyone who lost sufficient income is getting the $275 week unemployment bonus. If someone was already not working prior to the pandemic, I'm not sure why they would qualify for extra 'pandemic' relief other than the $1200, $600 and $1400 checks the government already paid out to them.
