I get SS every month so don’t get me wrong but...

Why do they think they need to help break the bank to give seniors extra money besides their regular checks? They truly are trying to destroy this great economy is all I can think.

In 2008, SS folks had to file. But the text of the stimulus package said the SS folks didn’t have to file. I believe the screw up was some doofus at the IRS......not Mnuchin.

Did I miss the part where their incomes were disrupted? This seems like nothing more than extra booze and drug money.

"Social Security recipients who typically don't file tax returns"

How does the IRS let them off the hook?

They are putting liquidity in the hands of Seniors to help
spur the economy.

Extra money will be spent, and that supports business and
jobs.

You’ve got a valid point too.

In 8 years, my net check has gone up $3 a month....cuz Medicare takes it all. I'm 76.

Apparently you have money besides SS...but not everyone does.

That money will pay things I normally would pay, like property taxes and home owners insurance.

Those who do not file have not the minimum income to pay any tax.

Cuz SS is not taxable income....though some may be if you’re still working.

In 2008 it was a frickin mess. That’s why they changed the law.

But the IRS ignored the law in their early releases. Glad they cleared it up.

I do too. But since we do file a tax return I suppose that means my check will be automatically sent. I wonder too if these checks are subject to garnishment orders.
