Well that wasn't what you originally said. But just for some clarification here on the Stimulus Bill.
It depends on your income. Single adults with Social Security numbers who have an adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less will get the full amount. Married couples with no children earning $150,000 or less will receive a total of $2,400. And taxpayers filing as head of household will get the full payment if they earned $112,500 or less.
Above those income figures, the payment decreases until it stops altogether for single people earning $99,000 or married people who have no children and earn $198,000. According to the Senate Finance Committee, a family with two children will no longer be eligible for any payments if its income surpassed $218,000.
You can’t get a payment if someone claims you as a dependent, even if you’re an adult. In any given family and in most instances, everyone must have a valid Social Security number in order to be eligible. There is an exception for members of the military.

Keep in mind the bill has not even been passed by the house yet.
I believe the current version will pay $1200 per adult for those who had adjusted gross income of less than $75k on their last tax return (either 2018, or 2019 if they have already filed).
It tapers gradually to zero from $75k to $99k; i.e. over $99k you get nothing.
From what I saw today.... it was 1200 for singles, 2400 for married, and 500 per kid.
On a side note, my 16 yr old had/has a job at a local pizza joint. It was a eat in place and they shut down and told every one to go home... Earlier this week the bosses sent out a message stating they were filing for unemployment for everyone that worked there and something about how they would have to keep it up each Sunday... I have a few issues with this, she's 16 she doesn't need the money, she had the job for blow money... she can't blow it (as I'm not letting her out to roam then bring the nasties home to mom) so I see no reason for her to get it. Do we have to go figure out unemployment to stop it? or can we just ignore it? Does she have to take it?
It would be different if she was working FOR something... ie college savings, a car, insurance, bills ect.
If she had a paying job she paid into unemployment and is thus eligible for benefits. You can't just say that she's not entitled to it because you aren't letting her spend her "blow money" due to the lockdowns. If she gets unemployment, maybe it can be saved for later on.

That isn't how it works. She is a young lady that was just working her first job. She had only been working for two months.
In their state they have the following requirement.
To be eligible for UI benefits, you must:
be unemployed or working part-time (less than 32 hours per week) through no fault of your own, have earned at least $780.01 in 2 quarters within the base period, and be physically able, available, and seeking work.
That "base period" would NOT be the last two months. But likely the previous 2 quarters. IDK for sure, I'd have to look it up. But either way, she would not qualify.

In Canada there's a minimum number of weeks that need to be worked (20 I think) before you can get unemployment benefits.
Don't they have a similar system there to stop people from having a job for a month or two and filing with unemployment?

I don't know enough about unemployment to know that...
I told her if SHE wants it SHE has to figure it out.
I have moral issues with taking money from the Gov, if I felt I didn't earn it or need it, since they are MY issues I decided to let her decide and let her work it out on her own.
She doesn't qualify for your states unemployment.

We have those type of restrictions too, in normal times, but with the effect COVID19 is having with all the shut downs there are special UE provisions in the stimulus package.
It is important to remember we are talking about a 16 year old that is the dependent of her parents. She worked her first job and was there for 2 months. According to her states rules she does not qualify for unemployment insurance. And she shouldn't qualify IMHO. The stimulus package is not intended to make bank for our teenagers that live at home and are supported by their parents.
