Any social workers here? I have a pay question

I’m a foster care worker in Michigan (I’ve been at my job for 4 months now) and I have 14 cases I work with. Recently, someone at my job left, and I was transferred one of her cases that had one child, bringing me from 13 to 14 cases. I was told by my supervisor that I now have a full caseload and that I would be getting a raise. Turns out, I’m only getting a $100 check. Is this normal? The new case is closing soon due to the bio parent being AWOL for so long, but I’ve never heard of someone only getting one $100 check as a “raise”.
