I bet it is adjusted gross as on tax forms.

All I could find is this:

The people who paid the most in taxes get nothing.

I earned over $75K in 2018 and 2019, but retired last December. I could sure use an extra $1200, but I guess no politician wants to be seen helping the "rich".

On the positive side, my daughter lost her restaurant job a couple weeks ago, so she surely will get some badly needed help, as will millions of others who are in dire straits.

I wonder if they’d catch on if we set up our “kids”, Maris, Mel, Fiona, Darth-Ann, and Lily. Hmmm... (Meow.)

Several articles I’ve come across have never mentioned if it’s gross or taxable. I’ve looked and have yet to find anything clarifying that.

[Dusty Road]

Why should it? Has your income changed, lost your job or put on unpaid leave?

[Bringbackthedraft]

WOW! 1st we got free cheese, then we got free phones and now free money? Amerika what a country! I can now buy a huge Provalone, an I Phone and a 75” Flat TV and have some money left over to buy a Pizza? A large percentage of this nation loves Free Stuff, lets vote for more!

[Grampa Dave]

My check will read...

“Pay to the order of Mr/Mrs Moovova, the sum of $0 dollars/cents.”

At least one son and his wife will get the same check.

Its's based on AGI.

I’d like to see an accounting of all this $$$. Everyone in the country 350 million could get $1,000 and that would be $350 billion!

What is considered a child? under 18? dependent college student?

[Uncle Miltie]

Since no value was created, this is a direct transfer of wealth from those whoearn >$99K to those whibearn less.

There is an inflationary mechanism that does the transferring automagically.

This is what wealth redistribution looks like. What Obama could not do, Trump is doing.

[JBW1949]

I just asked a question...What’s your problem????

[Codeflier]

None for me - phased out. I have to pay for it all. My blood is boiling.

I’ve already exceeded my SS COLA raise of 1.6% by the time I buy 2 months of OTC brand Name Nexium. Tricare took it off the Formulary, and it’s the only 1 I can take. OTC is crap beside a Prescription. Take 80 mg per day + extra for break through. Osteoarthritis drugs ruined my gastro tract. Doesn’t count the Tricare copays.

Went through the Kroger Flyer, no cleaning products on sale. 1 of the fewest items I’ve bought in years 19 items. Nexium was 1 of them.

[NativeSon]

But like my Family, you’ll have the pleasure of picking up the tab.

[Boardwalk]

Lol

[bgill]

The obamys have several SS numbers.
