Happy New Year...Got My $600


A nice way to start the New Year...the 600 bucks was in my bank account this morning.

How do you qualify for it

If you received the first one, this second one should be automatic

I'm from the UK, was just being nosy 👍

There were errors in the first lists. Thousands of people in Switzerland and Austria got money on the first round. Some have never been to the US, some have worked there for a week or two decades ago. They got two letters, one with the money and another one contained advertisement for the (almost past) US administration.

After a bit of confusion - it looked like a fraud in the first place - news stations reported that you actually get the money and nobody would claim it back. They were right.

Thanks American tax payers for the gift ...

Same here.

Cool, I want the $2000. But the only way we'd get that much is if the sun comes up green tomorrow.

reply

The sun is green. Go google it. It's no joke.

reply

Not for $2000.

reply

Made me look !

And ... nope.

i'm unsure what to shoot for though

.....are what come to mind

reply

Nothing yet, but my credit union posted a notice that we can expect to see it hit our accounts beginning 1/4. I can wait.

reply

I just checked and my online bank statement informs me of the same thing, i.e. that the funds will be available on 1/4.

reply

Do they direct deposit it or regular check?

reply

Same way you got the first one.

reply

I think it was direct since thats the way I get my taxes deposited. I just checked though, nothing yet.

reply

👍 You should be good to go.

reply

Check again now T
We just did and it is there though a different amount than stated in the OP

reply

I think it may be different depending on one's tax return--I file taxes as a single person.

reply

Yep, that seems to be the case

reply

Me too. Pleasant surprise.

I would also like to see the other $1400 that has wide support from Congress, from the President and from 2/3rds of the American People.

reply

That will depend on who controls the senate.
