United is providing MP elites with PQP bonuses for 2022 (for 2023 qualifying), with credits to MP account starting Feb. 10. It appears this is in process of rolling out universally, so if you don't see PQP yet wait a bit.
Credits appear to be as follows, though some posts in the thread may vary from these figures. Matthew had an exchange confirming the program and reverse engineering these figures as well, below.
If you "earned" the status for 2022 (whether or not needing the various bonuses or fly to the finish) you receive an "earned bonus". If you received your status through an extension of past status or through being a million miler companion, you get the "starter bonus", which isn't as high.
GS: 3000 PQP
1K: Earned: 3000; Starter: 2250
Plat: Earned: 2000; Starter: 1500
Gold: Earned: 1400; Starter: 1050
Silver: Earned: 700; Starter: 525
The posting of the Starter PQPs in your account may initially be puzzling
In the summary activity, only the RDMs are shown and for the Starter PQPs, there are no RDMs, just PQPs
Looking further down you will see

United got back to me -
United is showing love to its most loyal customers just in time for Valentine’s Day.
Tomorrow, United will notify MileagePlus Premier members of a surprise deposit of extra Premier Qualifying Points (PQP) to their accounts to help jump start earning towards their 2023 Premier status goals. Since United extended the lowered Premier qualification thresholds offered at all levels last year, the personalized deposit gifts members 15% -20% of what they need to requalify for status through 2023.
Premier members’ deposit amounts will vary depending on:

Premier members’ deposit amounts will vary depending on:
- The Premier status level reached at the end of 2021
- Whether Premier status was earned or extended
- Members who earned status, by either meeting the annual requirements or completing the Fly to the Finish challenge, will receive higher PQP deposit amounts

Thanks for posting! 2000 for me as a Platinum. I re-qualified through the promotion. Hoping to get MM in next few months. This may also incentivize me to hit Platinum again because I want my mom to get my companion status and would love for her to have Platinum for next year too.

Hope for Premier Silvers
I infer the following from looking through posts.
Silver: [525] / or / 700 = [525 + 175] ("earner")
Gold: 1050 / or / 1400 = 1050 + 350 ("earner")
Platinum: 1500 / or / 2000 = 1500 + 500 ("earner")
1K/GS: 2250 / or / 3000 = 2250 + 750 ("earner")
I like this! Instead of a press release with everything spelled out clearly, they gave us a puzzle.

Yeah, it's kind of hard to be sure how to interpret some of the reports.
From the response MatthewLAX got saying 15% - 20%, I think it must be
Silver: 525 (standard) / or / 700 ("earner")
Gold: 1050 (standard) / or / 1400 ("earner")
Platinum: 1500 (standard) / or / 2000 ("earner")
1K/GS: 2250 (standard) / or / 3000 ("earner").

I will be interested to see if those who received their Premier Silver membership via Marriott Bonv°y Titanium Elite status will get a Starter PQP bonus.
I did get one in early January 2021.
