To be eligible for the full amount, a person’s most recently filed tax return must show that they made $75,000 or under. For couples, who can receive a maximum of $2,400, the cutoff is $150,000.

Make sure the government has your correct address. There should be some info on this now that stimulus has passed. Probably need to let IRS know your current address if it has changed.

A lot of people aren't eligible for those benefits, and not because they make too much money. My understanding of it (and maybe I'm wrong? I kinda hope so), if for any reason you didn't file taxes in 2018, you won't qualify (unemployed, disabled, etc). And if you want to go for unemployment instead, you'll only qualify for *that* if you have been recently laid off bc of the pandemic - if you're simply getting zero-hours but haven't actually lost your job, then you won't qualify. If you're gig economy, self employed, sole proprietor, etc, you won't qualify. Even if you do qualify, if the IRS doesn't have your current direct deposit info, or a current address, your check is going to be delayed by *months*.

Oh and that check is taxed, so it'll be closer to $600 than $1200 which is nowhere near enough to stave off the landlord trying to evict you for nonpayment while you can't work.

This is 2008 all over again. I'd encourage people to try & support local small businesses as much as possible right now. Big corps are getting huge bailouts, but small biz aren't - they're eligible for new small business loans though. Whoopee I guess. A loan that you get to pay back, or a blank check with no strings attached.


Can you tell I'm mad about this?

DeLaine fortunately, you are incorrect.

The check is NOT taxed, so you will receive the full amount.

If you did not file 2019 or 2018 tax return, the IRS is telling people to immediately file their 2018 tax return so they will be eligible for the check.

The information that is being promulgated says that these "stimulus" checks are NOT taxed.

There is a tiered, income-stratified qualification threshold. It's based upon your 2018 tax return.

Above $198,000 AGI (adjusted gross income) for a married couple: you get nothing. $99,000 for a single tax filer is the ceiling. Unless you file as a single/head of household filer making under $112,500.00 -- you will get the full amount.

Married couples with an AGI of less than $150,000 will get the full $1200.00 amount.

The payment will NOT be taxed.

Plenty of info...

The 6 month payback is crucial. That's still a very short amount of time for low income people who are already living paycheck to paycheck.

From what I understand, LA city council is considering adding in additional protections against retaliatory for-cause evictions so that landlords don't start looking for "other reasons" to evict tenants that are unable to pay. Hopefully other local governments do the same, but there's no word on when LA city council will reconvene since their March 31st meeting was canceled, last I heard.

Other LA-area cities have their own rules though. The CA governor's order halting evictions lasts until May 31st, and you have to declare your inability to pay in writing no later than 7 days after the rent-due date. You do have to have proof of your inability to pay, i.e. bank statements, a letter from an employer, paystubs, etc.

Sadly, I won't get any because I am over the Maximum AGI.

On a separate note:

When you call your creditors, mortgage lenders, utilities, etc.
Make sure you say " I have no income due to Corona virus" They need to hear the key word
"Corona virus" to be able to enact their new policies, defer payments, halt late fees, etc.

Apparently they cannot couch you to say it. You have to do it yourself..

FYI to those who need this info.
