    Each week it’s said that SSDI/SSI will be receiving our stimulus check. I haven’t got my first check and now there’s talk about a second check. Can I get the first check please. I have bills that I want to pay off

    Hi, My Name is Tracy, and I was wondering if us simple poverty stricken normal Americans that are trying to raise their teenage children in this high technological and fashionable upbeat world that we have today. I don’t meet the requirements to have to file my taxes yearly, but have for the past couple of years just to help us get by. When, or if, we are getting a Covid-19 assistance ? Although I know you all have a trillion people to deal with, we are struggling to meet ends meat. That assistance would so greatly benefit us. I know no other way to ask, or get answers to this question, except to just ask right now, here. Please respond, in dire need of assistance. Thank you for your time and true care and concern for our community.

    If what I have read for the nearly past weeks that “Social Security recipient or retirees do not have to file any type of information to receive their stimulus payment.” If this is the case, I yet have not receive the first one. WHY?

  5. Andrew P.

    I have not received my FIRST economic stimulus payment to my Direct Express account yet. What gives?

    It is fake news people are not getting their Economic Impact Payment. Trump is paying all those scheduled to be paid. The left wing conspirators are posting here saying they haven’t gotten paid aren’t even Americans. The SSA doesn’t have anything to do with when you receive your Economic Impact Payment.

    The Nigerian fraud ring probably used your stolen social security number and personal information to file under the IRS non-filer tool. Your money has been stolen.
