Who does it say deposited the money?

>Over 248,000 people applied to the program before the Oct. 1 deadline, but only 156,000 workers qualified for benefits.

>In November, lawmakers voted to add $30 million to the fund and bring the total to $105 million.

>More than 66,000 people who make $50,000 or less each year will receive the full $1,000 bonus, while applicants with higher incomes will get significantly smaller amounts. The program covers a wide range of employees, including health care workers, teachers and firefighters.

Correct me if I’m wrong but almost all the 156,000 workers qualified would receive 1000 if the total funding was $105 million. With that math technically all 156,000 qualified workers could have gotten 673.08.

Well if 156,000 people got $1000 each it would be $156 million. You're right each worker could have gotten $673. $91 seems pretty far off from $673 to me, but I don't know what your yearly salary is.

Maybe you were at the upper end of qualifying applicants?

Yeah we need some more info on exactly how the program is graduated to understand what's what, as well as whether the payments are taxable as income by the state or federally.
