We didn’t qualify for the ‘check’ because our 2019 income too high. We are typical middle class not rich but we bought a new, old house in October and had to cash out some IRA money for down payment since daughter and husband and 7 kids moved into our old house. That cash out was taxed and treated as income.

So much for being responsible in taking care of our immediate family housing needs. Checks to dead people - no wonder faith in our governmental leaders is practically non existent.

These are the same dead people who will be voting democrat in the election. Their virus money has no doubt been diverted to the democrats.

Lemme guess, a half billion went to various accounts for Pelosi and the other half to her little bug eyed buddy.

It’s an easy enough mistake to make, after all, they did all vote in the last election...

This is not completely what everyone thinks. Not everyone cashing the checks are doing it fraudulently.

My dad passed away in 2019. As executor of his will I had to file a tax return on his behalf. I received a stimulus check made out to me and my father. The check even had DSCD after his name. They clearly sent it knowing he was deceased.

Yep, Congress specified in the “CARES ACT” stimulus checks to everyone based on 2018 or 2019 (if filed already) filing status, so perhaps Congress intended for the surviving spouse to stimulate the economy on behalf of the deceased spouse.

IRS lawyers have since interpreted it as a “no” and are trying for a “claw-back” of the funds:

The question becomes not, “Who received the checks,” but “Who cashed those checks?”

Another question that plagues our country. So what, if the number of CV-19 positive tests are increasing?

The real question is how many DEATHS are there?....real CV-19 deaths not cash bonus deaths for the hospital’s bottom-line.

Do we have material for a class action suit against CDC? If so I’m in.

My Deceased mother was one of them. As the executor of the estate, I sent it back.

Daddy always said if you're gonna be a whore, be an expensive one.....well, that check just wasn't large enough to blacken my reputation.
