Unemployment pay containing an extra $600 a week in benefits is being sent to a very broad group of jobless workers in California — and the extra payments will be retroactive, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday.

“Just in the last four weeks, 2.7 million Californians have filed for unemployment benefits,” Gov. Newsom estimated on Wednesday at a news briefing to discuss the impact of the coronavirus on California.
