That's for the first UBI payment though, right? I was under the impression there would be more, no?

No, what passed was a one-time payment. Due to the Senate recess it was pass their bill, unmodified, or pass nothing at all.
There is some general talk in the house (in particular on the left) that this isn't really enough to handle what is shaping up to be a 4-6 month crisis at absolute minimum and we should do additional payments in the future but that's not what passed, and it's unclear whether the Senate has any willingness to pass anything further.
The Senate took off from DC for a month so nothing will be done before they get back. On this or any other coronavirus-related legislation.
