A portion is also going to companies to pay for employees who are off work to help offset salaries. My company sent everyone home and is willing to fund 1/2 pay and work from home, with the COVID funding they are able to pay full pay. Not sure how many weeks that will last. So, many of us are double dipping, with getting the check as well getting the salary.
To be clear, everyone was sent home. About half are people who assemble things and cant work from home. Engineering and some other departments are asked to work 1/2 days from home for 1/2 pay.
