Grumble and sow defeatism.
Some more info about people on SS and the payouts:
Under the provisions of the approved Act, Americans having a valid Social Security number will receive direct cash assistance, specifically including those who receive welfare and Social Security benefits. Relief payments are scheduled to be $1,200 for individuals, $2,400 for couples, and $500 for children, for individuals with incomes at or below $75,000 ($112,500 for heads of household), while couples with income at or below $150,000 eligible for the same level of relief payments.
The Bill also addresses concerns that many seniors have in the area of Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from retirement accounts. Since mandatory withdrawals can limit the ability of seniors to make wise investment decisions in times of severe market volatility, it was felt that government regulation should not force anyone, especially seniors, to liquidate savings in a “personal” account. The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) had recommended a temporary waiver of Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) rules for retirement accounts in the calendar year 2020, and this provision was approved in the final CARES Act vote.
