Just wondered if any of the elder folk out there got their checks? We have not-the error message I get on the IRS site is "We cannot track your money". I then go to FAQ section and it says "The IRS and SSA are working on it"=LOL

Hubby and I got ours. And donated most of it to our favorite local charities. Got a lovely letter from one place today ... they feed / clothe / house the homeless. By the way ... for those of us in the 70.5+ category (I'm not, but my husband is, so we have to follow "his" rule). You can have your donation sent directly from your IRA account TAX FREE.... even if you do not itemize deductions. You will need the tax ID number of the institution to which you are making your contribution.

My older brother on SS has not yet received his.
And anyone for whom IRS does not have direct deposit info, they will get paid last - expect in June - as checks take longer to process.
Might be July since the Orange Thing lurking in the White House decided he has to sign each one.

Why does he have to sign them himself? Probably because older people vote.
My mom hasn't received anything yet.
I read that some monies were deposited into the wrong accounts. I don't know which accounts or if it has ever been corrected.

Yes a voter angle but what he isn't smart enough to know is most people getting a check are not in his base, but those with minimal incomes and no bank accounts.
We got ours immediately, I think because we had done direct deposit of tax refunds in the past. (though we are also on Social Security) We have made some donations and may be helping our daughter who had a pay cut. As retirees, we are pretty protected at the moment (as long as we don't freak out looking at the state of our 401k!)The wrong accounts were usually because someone had a different bank account when they got a refund a year or two ago and they either forgot or they went online to change it where they were supposed to but that information didn't get processed in time.
The signature is all "branding". Back in GW Bush time, there was some kind of stimulus or tax refund. The checks didn't have his name but were mailed from Houston, which seemed to be a reminder of who we were supposed to be grateful to.
Ok, not making sense to me then. We file Fed Tax return in order to get Prop. Taxes paid back from our state. We used direct deposit for that and also our SS checks are direct deposit. We are not hurting for it, but it seems everyone we know has gotten it but us!ETA just went back to the "Where's My Check"-still getting the same message

What I eventually found out was that in addition to their SS, they also have retirement income that is added to their taxable income. That brought their total income up to higher than the minimum requirements:
Married couples filing jointly without children with an adjusted gross income below $150,000 will get a $2,400 payment, decreasing to zero at $198,000.
Also, they had additional income in 2018 and, even though they would have gotten a partial payment based on their 2019 adjusted gross jncome, they hadn't filed their 2019 tax return yet.

Supposedly "the helpful " gov't website is re-calibrating this week-end (shut down until Monday)-hopefully I will find out the problem then
