    No, you won't ever make more on unemployment than you made in legal income. They said specifically no one will get a raise for staying home.

    So if you make 12 an hour averaging 40 hours then the most unemployment you could receive would be 480 a week. It wouldn't make sense to pay you 800 per week in emergency income. 

    There are much more beneficial ways to stimulate the economy.

    I believe that is part of the deal. And everyone making under 75 grand gets $1,200 as a one time payment.

    No that's not true. You will get a one time check if you qualify.
