I know people who were unemployed were gettting 600 extra a week of free money on top of the regular unemployment they were getting and that it turned into 300 extra a week in August. Are they still getting that extra 300 a week this whole time?

I didn't get a penny, wasn't earning enough to qualify for benefits and only found this out
a couple days before going back to work about a week ago (had last worked in March).
Were it not for Covid, would've kept working until May or so & then gone back in August
albeit would've looked for something for June and July. Suffice to say I'm not impressed,
esp as I still have to pay rent and making sure I have medical insurance paid out of pocket (part timers aren't covered) is more important than ever in case I get infected with the virus (tested negative the first time, waiting on results of another test I took on Tuesday 1 Dec.) plus because of a screw-up by my academic adviser didn't have classes this semester + couldn't get anything at the food pantry so have lost 20 pounds since Jan & already skinny.
My best friend's wife works in a restaurant. They sometimes bring enough leftovers to last
a day or two, unfortunately will move out of state next month for his job. I'm gonna miss them.
