No, everyone does NOT qualify merely because they live in the same household. The bill is quite clear on the point.

If, say, Nightie and I were to be living in your house [shudder](assuming you were single here) neither of us would be qualified to receive the prebate - only you would assuming you were the "head of the household". There is only one residence for the family and the people residing there must be related per the bill for them to qualify for the inclusion in the prebate. You'd get it for the one-person family (you) but poor old Nightie and pigdog would not qualify ... nor would their cocker spaniel.

You need to read and understand what the bill says - I posted the applicable portion in #287. In post #299 I also explained how there could be other types of non-qualified persons residing in a non-family household (even as the head of household) which could disqualify anyone in the household from getting the prebate.

Your assumption that the Census Bureau has any sort of accurate record of illegal aliens isn't even reasonable. (In an earlier post you see to grasp to some degree how inaccurate the data can be - but I don't think you genuinely understand it is probably off by 10% or more in the case of illegal aliens. You must have missed the Bear Stearns study which was quite definitive using multiple methods of data verification and derivation as opposed to the C. B. numbers. The Bear Stearns paper came up with a well-reasoned count of 20 million illegal aliens - and that was a year ago. The 20 million figure is certainly closer to the truth than 8 million.

U. S. citizenship is only one of the requiremente - not the only one as you seem to think. Once again, read the bill (post #287). Then read #299 with more understanding. Your $480 B is way too high. As I saaid in #299, it's likely that my $369 B estimate is too high even.

Citizenship is not a requirement for the FCA. Are you mistaken or lying?

The FCA goes to "qualified families," not households or residences. A "qualified family" is defined as "all family members sharing a common residence." There is no language in the bill that says different "qualified families" can have the same residence. In your example we would each be deemed a "qualified family" even though we had the same residence. We would each get the full FCA.

Every legal resident in a household qualifies for FCA. If two adults not related by marriage or blood happen to live at the same address, each are treated as separate single persons in that household. Each would receive the FCA independantly of the other. That is how the provisions provide for all legal residents living at any given address. Each individual in such a situation is treated separately as his/her own family head.
