  4. Karen W.

    The 1st stimulas money i did not get bc it went to my ex’s past due child support, we have not been together in 4 years.
    He has a zero balance now.
    My question is will this next stimulas money come straight to my Direct Express? I hope so, i have past due bills i could of taken care of with the first round that got intercepted!

    I haven’t got mine and May 20 the was the next payment date. I’ve gotten
    SSI / Soc Sec since 1993.
    Direct Deposit since it existed

  7. About C.

    Ok, Thank you for the update.

  8. No n.

    Please spare me the update. It’s not true. They’ve been changing the date of disbursement since March. The people who need it the most get it last and the people who the country should have more respect for: railroad and vets are last also. As I type this, I’ll probably be penalized and get it next year in the mail.

    I can’t even get my state refund tax back so I won’t hold my breathe. My daughter can’t get her federal tax refund or her stimulus check and she is not on SS or SSI

    Why did I a SS recipient not receive any money for my 2 children under 17? I got the 1200 but was expecting another 1000 for my 2 daughters.
