We have not heard that although you should file for unemployment since the stimulus package includes increased unemployment payments. 

I understand it could be an additional $600 a week on top of what you get from the state, but not completely sure on that. 

As far as the stimulus checks are concerned, according to the IRS:

"Tax filers with adjusted gross income up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns will receive the full payment. For filers with income above those amounts, the payment amount is reduced by $5 for each $100 above the $75,000/$150,000 thresholds. Single filers with income exceeding $99,000 and $198,000 for joint filers with no children are not eligible. Social Security recipients and railroad retirees who are otherwise not required to file a tax return are also eligible and will not be required to file a return."

So, if your income was over that, you won't get a stimulus check in April , HOWEVER, we have been told that it is an advance on a 2020 credit, which means that if your income is lower in 2020, you might get the credit when you file your 2020 tax return next year.
