If you were in charge, and cash payments were going to be doled out, what criteria would you use to determine who gets it and who doesn't?

As you may or may not know, President Trump is considering cash payments of one or two thousand dollars to people who are impacted by the Corona virus (Covid-19).

If you were in charge of doling out the money, what criteria would you use to determine who should get it and who shouldn’t?

I did hear him say millionaires shouldn’t get it. That makes sense. I would hope people who are looking to get it would have to provide proof of their economic loss(es) and maybe their tax returns. Working for the government and knowing what tricks people can pull when it comes to being eligible for money, it would be interesting to see what the criteria actually will be, if this comes to fruition.

I’m not looking to get it as I work for the government and I’m not negatively impacted by this crisis. This question is not related to me.

It’s ironic that this cash payment idea is a form of socialism, and was something suggested by presidential candidate Andrew Yang. I never was a fan of Andrew Yang but it’s funny that this was his idea, yet Trump would never admit to being socialistic. I get that it will help people who need it.
