How do you get help from the Coronavirus stimulus packages? Here's a few ways:
Economic Impact Payment: this is the stimulus check that most citizens will get, and most people will get it automatically.

FFCRA - Family First Coronavirus Relief Act: This portion of the stimulus bill relaxes the qualification guidlines for unemployment, extends the length of benefits, and increases the size of unemployment checks.

Mortgage help: many banks are offering a deferment or forbearance on mortgages affected by the shutdown, but the details are different from bank to bank.
Student Loan payments suspended: federal student loan payments are automatically suspended until September 30, 2020. Also, a temporary stop to collections and garnishing for outstanding student loan dents.
Stimulus part 4: expect more money to be appropriated for the existing SBA rescue packages, and infrastructure spending to be approved in an upcoming stimulus bill.
