    I am on SSI recipient but I do not make enough to file taxes so my daughter claimes me as a dependent. Am I still eligible for a impact check. Looking forward to your response. Thank you

      You were claimed as a dependent, therefore you are not eligible for any stimulus payment.

      If your combined income is $ 86,000.00. Why would you want more money? That’s called greed Pal!

    I am a SS beneficiary who have received my monthly payments by direct deposit to my bank account for the pass 18 years. I was informed in April that my CARE stimulus payment would be sent May 1. Today is May 22 and still no payment. Where’s My Payment is still stating will be sent May 1. Even if it were to be a check mailed, USPS delivery Washington DC to Dallas is not THAT SLOW. Why is govt hanging on to stimulus payments for qualified independent beneficiaries?

  10. Felix V.

    I am a US citizen living overseas. I have not received the stimulus payment as of today. I regularly receive my SS monthly benefit by Direct Deposit to my bank on my country of residence at this time.
