$2800 for married couples with income under 150K (AGI), plus $1400 for every child 16 or under.

My income (mostly from SS) is about 16,000 a year and I have received nothing nor any notice. The IRS did send a letter dated March 1 to a brother whose yearly income is about the same stating "a payment of 600.00 was issued by Direct Deposit," though nothing had come last I knew.

A $1,400 stimulus calculator is here, and which estimated stimulus payment for one under 75,000 is $1,400.

Also, research further provides,

Several factors affect the payment amount you get, such as your age, marital status, citizenship and tax status. Here are some details for nonfilers, people with babies born in 2020 and families in child support situations. Also, here's how to claim any missing stimulus money (or file a payment trace). This story is regularly updated with new information.

I sank my stimulus money in my grandchildren’s college accounts. I hope they have a future and it is not wasted.

I think learning a trade is better, if they have the attitude and aptitude, but God knows.

We got the same letter, it said 1200.00 not 1400. and it was addressed to us both so maybe not 1200 each. Wonder why 1200. We just have SS for income which is around 40,000. WE got the full amount the last 2 times.

See links in my post 61 above that may help. I did use the the IRS' Get My Payment tool which told me,

Payment Status - Not Available We are unable to provide the status of your payment right now because: We don't have enough information yet (we're working on this), or You're not eligible for a payment

Even though I received the previous stimulus and should be eligible for the last.

A reminder that we must look to God in Christ, not trust in government.

yep...we just get the bill portion.

1st one was quick and right into our account, which hasn’t changed in over 11 years. 2nd one said it was going to a bank account, but showed the wrong numbers for the last 4 of the account # (IRS was showing 4785 instead of 0785, or along that line). Someone clearly went into the IRS system between the 1st and 2nd, and changed the account number. So the 2nd one then showed up as a check, several weeks later, around the first week of February. 3rd one: shows it was being direct deposited to the same wrong bank account on 3/17/2021. So if we get it, it will probably be a check, and weeks out. We have had federal refunds most years, and always used the same bank account. Why would it have been changed?

Human Error or Hacking as a precursor of what it to come.

Thank you. I also got on the irs site. According to the guidelines, I should be receiving $1400 and yet, like your brother my notice said $600. I don't understand it. I'm not going to complain about it but I am curious. My brother is also qualified but his notice said $600 as well.

This was only the first batch mailed from what I understand. Did you get on the irs site to check about yours?

The gov’t mafia dropped our peanuts into our account yesterday.

Yes, I did use the the IRS' Get My Payment tool which told me,

"Payment Status - Not Available We are unable to provide the status of your payment right now because: We don't have enough information yet (we're working on this), or You're not eligible for a payment."

[But what it did not say - yet - is:] "We don't have enough information yet" means that our records show that you are a frequent contributor of hateful rhetoric (contending for Biblical Truth and values) on a Internet entity called "Free Republic," a site which is known to foster homophobia (opposing the pronounced promotion of a practice that sends many souls to an early grave and an eternal fire), misogyny (opposing abortion), Islamophobic (describing Islam as a faith that advocates religious physical bloodshed), racial discrimination (promoting meritocracy, with character and ability determining employment versus skin color), and supporting domestic terrorism (advocating for the Second Amendment and voting integrity).

Therefore your eligibility is in question pending further review, while as an added measure of security all financial transactions by you are being placed on hold. You may inquire further by calling 666-666-6666, at which time you may pledge allegiance to the New World Order of LGBTPCNOWCCPAOCQRSXYZ rights and receive your special ID by which you can resume engaging in commerce activities.

eeek. I don’t think we’re quite at that point ... yet (there’s that word). I can assure you that if that were the case I would have never received the money. :)
