Should have added...the economic slump will affect retired people who are living on income from nest eggs in that those nest eggs will most likely have shrunk considerably.

Ya think?

Get everyone spending money where? I thought we were supposed to be staying home.

Like Mark Kevin asked last night, “why are they trying to stimulate the economy at the same time they’re shutting down the economy?”

Mnuchin said money would be showing up in people’s accounts in three weeks. He said that seven or eight days ago, so it should be another two weeks or so.

If the IRS doesn’t have someone’s current bank account and direct deposit information then that person may have to wait longer to receive a paper check.

why are retired people getting a check....they are not unemployed

This is a STIMULUS check, it's purpose is to circulate money, to help keep the economy going, and yes retired people spend money too. I intend to spend all of it as fast as I can.

You can always count on the IRS to try to make lemons out of oranges.

My last post was to jeffc, I was responding to #2.

I hate posting on this site from a phone, too much zooming in and out and trying to hit tiny buttons with big hands.

I am!!! I get social security but depend on my part time restaurant job to make ends meet. I have been assured my job will be there when this passes and I have filed for partial unemployment (but really not sure I’ll qualify) so yes...some of us retired folks do need help. Lots of sanctimonious folks on this board these days.

“Why are retired people getting a check?”

Because this is a stimulus package. Its not a welfare check. They are injecting money into circulation. The stimulus recipients are the syringes.

Haven’t you answered the same question for Hojczyk several times already?

Maybe his computer screen has a blind spot and your answer doesn’t show?
