The amount of unemployment benefit scales with income, and $450/wk (plus $600 from the stimulus) is the maximum, to be clear. A full time worker paid $15/hour would receive $300+1000 per week.

Your math is a bit off. $15/hour fulltime is $7650 gross per quarter. According to the EDD PDF you linked, that would qualify for $295/week in unemployment plus $600 from the Feds for a total of $895. No one is going to get more than $1050 combined in California.
