Not True:

About 90% of Americans would qualify for government checks, though the amount decreases for those making more than $75,000 a year, with an income cap of $99,000 for individuals and $198,000 for couples.

"Taxpayers with little or no income tax liability, but at least $2,500 of qualifying income, would be eligible for a minimum rebate check of $1,200.
($2,400 married)
($500.00 per child).

Qualifying income includes earned income, as well as Social Security retirement benefits and certain compensation and pension benefits paid to veterans.

This ensures relief gets to low-income seniors and disabled veterans," the summary reads.

That’s a lie.

If you are on SS or SSDI and made more than 2,500 you will get a check, probably a smaller one but a check nonetheless, even though you didn’t lose your job or income.

Even if you didn’t pay taxes or even file a tax return as they will pull your number from SS.

Not sure why one whose income was unchanged should get a check but what the heck, everybody and their mother is getting money, including 4 months of 600 added onto unemployment even though they virus and the situation may dissipate long before that but hey, it’s not real money anyway :)

Even if you don’t “pay taxes”, you’re still required to file an IRS return. If you did, then you are eligible for the $1200 cash payout. The only people hurt by this will be illegals, tax dodgers, and gang-bangers.....good!
