The median US income is about $30k, so most people were eligible for some if not all the money. But everyone (that was laid off) was eligible for the $600 per week unemployment benefit, and the expanded child tax credit also provided a lot of cash. Child poverty in the US was cut in half by some metrics over the last year - these were very impactful programs for most people.
