    I received a Visa card that said it was for this purpose. It required that I call to activate and it asked for the last 6 digits of my SS number, not four as usual but 6. I am afraid it might be a scam.

    Will we be receiving more than one payment?

    What about the people on SSDI? I have not received my stimulus payment yet, as well as others I have spoken with.
