The dollars were termed 'coronabucks' or 'neetbux' on incel and NEET forums. For many incels/NEETs this cash distribution is the most generous thing anyone did for them and it gives many a positive picture of the political environment. Travel and brick-and-mortar store workers were those who needed the most immediate contextual assistance. Those in families employed in healthcare technology or finance likely saw little to no actual new danger in their lives, and probably only a net benefit. | The dollars were termed 'coronabucks' or 'neetbux' on incel and NEET forums.

Many non-homeless NEETs were denied cash relief due to congress deciding to not directly give assistance to those filing their taxes as a dependent. A dependent to the IRS meaning someone who lives with someone who pays most of their living expenses. Thus, those non-homeless NEETs who were "true" non-homeless NEETs and did not pay for more than half their living expenses, were denied direct cash relief.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/NEET/comments/fpfiou/psa_if_youre_over_18_and_are_claimed_as_a/</ref> This arguably sparks resentment between dependents and parents, and makes the dependent more dependent on their caretaker. Mnuchin may be blamed by those effected for proposing relief for "hard working Americans". | Many non-homeless [[NEETs]] were denied cash relief due to US congress deciding to not directly give assistance to those filing their taxes as a dependent.
