No.
Giving people who earn in excess of $150K per year "Stimulus Money" wasn't to "keep food on the table", it was so those people would put it back into the economy in order to stave off a recession for just a little while longer.
If the idea was to put "food on the table" for those in need, the bar would have been set far lower and most certainly under $100k.
