https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/09/who-was-lifte... 11.7 million or so, for $400 billion accounted for. I'll leave others to track down the rest.

From my experience it heads in the same direction, though the exact numbers will differ depending on exactly what you're asking.

Looking up some data on UBI might be worthwhile, even if it's not the same as ad hoc "stimulus".
