Mainecoons Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 If they put it where the social security check goes that really simplifies thing. Mexico could use a little stimulus too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you aren't in need, I don't think it's an entitlement. This is a time when everyone is giving to everyone else who can't survive without the generosity of our fellow man - the government is taxing the "general man" in order to help those in need - that is why I am glad I pay taxes and contribute to what needs to be done in order that everyone has food and roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly. If one does NOT receive SS but HAS filed a 2018 or 2019 AND paid their taxes electronically out of their bank account, the stimulus will be deposited into THAT bank account. Otherwise, yes a check 'is in the mail'. Just don't look for it anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquipure Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 On the IRS web page under who is eligible, the first line states US residents. I read it all and it did not mention any exceptions. I am a non resident. I pay tax. I get SS. I am not expecting a deposit. I am going to try to paste the link but if it's not here, google IRS stimulus and go to the government website. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payment-information-center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbird Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 I received mine Tuesday. It was deposited into my US checking account. It was $1,200. I didn't ask for it and don't think I should have gotten it since I don't live in the states anymore.Not going to help the US economy much. Another example of the US government not spending tax dollars very carefully. The next few month are going to be interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't renounced your citizenship you are a resident. If you are a green card holder that hasn't been out of the country more than 6 months of the last year you are a resident Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really think you shouldn't have received it, and have no way to spend it in the US then you can always give it back. Or donate it to a charity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of wasteful to send it to Mexico. But, I'll probably put it to better use than they will. Think I'll just keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
