Has anybody received their additional $600 from railroad unemployment? I can't get through to anyone at RRB to get answers. Seems like we are the only ones who haven't received it yet. I am hoping they pay us the backpay owed as well.

I got mine this morning it was for 4 weeks
Backpay, Unemployment Bonus, additional funding, retro pay...whatever you want to call it, we're supposed to get it end of May (hopefully) And it is retroactive to your lay-off date. We all get it, anytime laid off/furloughed during the specified time period.
If you call the RRB toll free number there is a message at the beginning of your wait time that explains unemployment benefits. The message specifically refers to the $600 per week. I spoke with a representative. “Money will be paid retroactive to your furlough date.”
Back Pay? You get a different contract than everybody else?
Well it’s not a bonus so yeah.....
End of the month
And yes there is back pay
I called them yesterday I was waiting for 45min
