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

I have not received anything yet, though I dropped from Premier Silver membership after 31 January and did not get myself reinstated until 2 February, so I may not satisfy the "1 February 2022" criteria.

🎶 "What have you done for me lately?" 🎶
Thank you for this valuable data point, the first of its kind. It is surprising that you received 700 vice 525 PQP.

These sorts of promo typically take two or three days to reach everyone. Don't despair yet.
If you were MileagePlus Premier® Silver by 1 Feb 22, technically you should get the Starter PQP bonus.

So pleased to see this thread, and see the 3k PQPs in my account. 
Earned 1k again last year via FTTF.
With a 20% head start on requalifying for 1K, this is making me want to dust off the old spreadsheet tracking my travel and making sure I hit 1K again this year. I'm at a new job with less severe travel restrictions than my previous employer, and am seeing teams head back out there overseas. Itching to be among them! Here's to all of us getting back out there soon.

I am happy so far in that I am 9 for 9 on CPU/PP upgrades with an additional EWR-SFO PP upgrade already confirmed next week for myself and 2 companions.
