Michigan’s teachers and school staff who have worked during the pandemic will receive hazard pay.

The state’s Department of Treasury says the payments of up to $500 will go out by February 25.

The payments are the result of grant programs that recognize public and nonprofit nonpublic teachers and staff at the K-12 level who had to work more than usual and deal with additional expenses related to the transition to online learning. An application process was in progress in December.
