If the "payout" does occur, I don't know what people like me should do- we're not naive enough to think that sending it back would do anybody any good.
There is a local area Facebook page for events and stuff. Hot thread topic is this and related info, of course. The immediately impacted (young, families, etc) are already under duress, both parents unemployed, from the posts there. Between that and people I know personally, the people that could use it more will be pretty evident to me. Like you, I don't "need" it. So plan is to funnel it to deserving folk, probably in $200 chunks, so it has a tangible impact, for a handful, anyway.
