Educators received bonuses in states like Florida, Michigan and Tennessee, and some front-line workers in Vermont also received checks. Millions of Californians received a second round of Golden State Stimulus checks (for $600 up to $1,100), and low-income Marylanders are eligible for direct payments of $300 or $500.
