Idk why I qualify for this 1200 and I’m on SSI BUT I CAN’T GET MY son’s 500? My son happen to be named on my boyfriend’s taxes but he did not get his 500 so that would mean I should get it! But irs won’t even let me claim or get this money for my child? I’m very much frustrated by this problem and still I have not gotten my 1200 or my child’s my son is not a legal dependent on my boyfriend’s taxes so now why can’t I receive his 500 on my amount?

How old is your son? If he is 17, he does not qualify. Dependents who are 16 and younger qualify for the extra $500 payment.

I have not been anyone’s spouse or dependent since 2009. I am not required to file a income tax return. I am disabled and I have not received my stimulus check. My SSA is directed deposited in my checking account. Is there a problem.

I am on regular Social Security disability insurance and I normally don’t do tax returns I did one around April 15 just to make sure I got the stimulus package but I have not heard or received anything. Everyone I know has received theirs but I haven’t. Did I mess up?

I’m not sure what information the IRS is using as I receive SS direct deposit, filed my taxes, I meet all requirements to get my $1200.
Wednesday, May 20, I received a call from my sister who lives in WVa, she received a paper check for my stimulas payment. I used
To live with her over 4yrs ago. I had changed my address to Tx, filed my taxes with Tx address. Why did they send my check to WVa?? It’s a good thing this was my sisters address who knows where it would have ended up.
They are using info over 4 years old!!
