It's not a "payment." It's not a work bonus. It's stimulus money. The point is to SPEND it. Hopefully you don't "need" it. But if you do, it'll help pay a bill or two. If you don't need it, THAT IS AWESOME! SPEND IT! Spend it on people who DO need it. Spend it on restaurants and supermarkets that are struggling because their employees are being laid off, reduced hours, having to work overtime when they're only part-time employees, just flat out need a bonus for the major butt-kicking they're receiving right now.

Give $1200 cash to the guy who delivers your gourmet dinner the week after the deposit arrives in your account, as a tip.

That's what this is FOR. It is for two things only:

1) for people who need it, to relieve some of that need.
2) for people who don't need it, to spend at places they want to see kept in business.
