Came across this article and thought it might be helpful to some of you U.S. folks. There are still unanswered questions, but this was the most specific info I've seen yet as to how all this is going to work.

I find it very odd they are automatically sending people a check if they filed taxes in 2018 or 2019. I just assumed it would only go to those who file for unemployment due to coronavirus layoffs. Why send the money to those who are still working and getting paid? That makes no sense to me and seems like extra spending the govt. doesn't need to be doing. Although I'd enjoy receiving a $1200 check, I'm still getting paid from my job and it's not necessary. I'd rather not take anything from the govt. if I don't have to, because I always feel there will be some caveat. I have seen nothing about an option to opt-out.

Coronavirus checks, direct deposits are coming. Here's everything you need to know.
