According to the current COVID relief bill, direct checks of $600 will be sent to eligible adults and $600 per dependent. This means a family of four could receive $2,400. Individuals who earned less than $75,000 and those married filing jointly who earned less than $150,000 in 2019 are eligible for the full amount.

Though the House voted to increase the payments from $600 to $2,000, the Senate  has yet to make an official decision.
