That 'having to file a tax return' worried me.

Does this comport with the NYT?

I don't have time to watch a 13 minute video.

Full time, part time, and self employed people will get unemployment. File through your state unemployment office. You will get whatever you would normally get from the state + $600 a week from the federal government. The extra $600 a week ends in IIRC July.

The IRS is doing the one time checks. The NYT linked to the IRS who says:

The IRS encourages anyone with a tax filing obligation who hasn't filed a tax return for 2018 or a previous year to act now. – Pending legislation includes certain potential credits and rebates for those who have filed a return for 2018 and/or 2019. Those without 2018 tax filings on record could potentially affect mailings of stimulus checks
