Glad you’re not a victim of a spouse who treated you in an abusive manner. As someone who was subject to so much gaslighting by a spouse who gave me the ultimate FU by committing suicide and leaving a note saying I pushed him over the edge, I am not so cavalier about this type of stuff.

gillygirl, that must have been terrible for you to have to go through all of that.
You didn’t deserve that.

Hi gillygirl. I'm also sorry to hear this, and doubly sorry that my post reminded you of a terrible time.

Thank you. I’m doing better now.

Thank you. Your post didn’t really bring it up, more so the posts dismissing concerns about how it flies in this day and age.

I own three vehicles: A Volkswagen Passat, a Honda Accord, and a Dodge Caravan. Only one of them was made in a foreign country, the Dodge Caravan.

$600?
 

I thought it was supposed to be $1200.
Is your check discounted through The Bank of Walmart? :laugh:

Not exactly
 

Yeah, no it's not your money.

You money was spent a long time ago.

This is fresh off a printing press and it's a big fay IOU that you and your kids, and your grandkids will have to pay someday.

But hey, that doesn't play as well, does it?

Stimulus Check
 

Here is your stimulus check.

Schedule for payments:

He's giving away more money than any President ever did. If it doesn't get the economy back on track we'll be in big trouble.

Oddly enough, those above that take issue with these checks are the very same people that want (dare I say need) income from the very people that are receiving them.

I will admit upfront that I spent the money on a new AR. I obviously did not "need" one, but .....

So for those that are so offended.... Simply refuse to sell lunch/dinner or refuse to rent a room to those that you feel are costing you money. That, after all is your right!

Keep paying your taxes and enjoying it!

The Fisher Island Association representing the richest zip code in America was approved to receive a $2 million emergency coronavirus relief loan from the Small Business Administration, despite suffering no layoffs and no apparent financial impact from the coronavirus pandemic.

Because of the outrage they polled their owners and decided not to accept the money.

Who applied for this?
Who approved this?
How many more situations like this are there that we have not heard about?

My company borrowed $367K as part of the same Paycheck Protection Program, so I'll fill in a few blanks:

The program is really well intentioned--it allows a company to borrow 2.5 months' worth of payroll, and then forgives the entire amount if the company does not fire employees between now and June. So essentially the government is covering your payroll expenses under the condition that you do not fire anyone.

But the problem is that there is no real requirement that a company "need" the money. So even if your business was doing fine, you could still get the loan. The real determinant of who got the first round of loans was companies who were able to complete the (very easy) paperwork instantly and also had good relationships with their banks. We were lucky to have a very good relationship with a small local bank, so we avoided the horror stories.

Who has good relationships with big banks who doled out the lion's share of the loans. If you guessed large, sophisticated companies with plenty of financial resources, you'd be correct.

Who cannot get the free money? The people who need it most. Restaurants who laid everybody off, but still have to pay rent and are going to have a miserable time even after they are allowed to reopen, just for example.

I am retired and disabled after working for 42 years and I didn't get a stimulus check. :confused: :(

notice how all these big (publicly traded) companies are returning this money with dubious claims of how they were allotted monies. someone in the accounting division with normal oversight, pushed the send button with only a fully completed application.

Stimulus Checks
 

Flying Scott, you and I agree! We “borrowed“ $1,360,000. Obviously we are not the target audience to this program. However, we employ about 55 people and it is going to them. As someone who has only contributed my whole adult working like, I don’t feel too guilty other than burdening my kids with the debt! However, when I go, I think they’ll be okay! ;-)

Promises, promises 🙄
 

We are also retired, not disabled, and we didn’t receive the stimulus check either. We qualify....go figure.

Stimulus check
 

Go to this site to check on the status of your check.

https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

I checked once a day and got a message that no data was available. Then one day it asked for additional info and said it would be processed.

Still waiting to see when it shows up in my bank account.

Please be more proactive. My oldest son who was technically furloughed but given his job we are not sure whether it will be there when this nonsense is over and my youngest son both received stimulus checks. Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. My suggestion is to be a pain in the you know what. Good luck!

Thanks...we’ll give it a whirl. I am an expert at being a pain in the you know what! 🤓

Just now checked the “get my payment” IRS site where we were just getting the “no information” for the last few weeks and had given up on checking...to our surprise, it asked for “more info” so we put the info in and it said “YOU WILL HAVE YOUR STIMULUS DIRECT DEPOSITED!”

Hallelujah!
Now we can pay our taxes...:rolleye2:

Been getting that notice for over a week now and still nothing, have a friend that got a notice that his will be deposited later this week, so I guess we have to wait for another update?

Apparently...we were just happy to see a different response to the inquiry.

I suppose the next “update” will pronounce a deposit date?

A friend checked the "Get my payment" website and it said his check would be mailed May 1st, along with a letter of explanation. So hang on, they are still processing checks.

I guess I'm missing something here
 

I don't hear anyone talking about spending hours/days in car lines trying to get food to put on the table (as is happening in many other areas).

I understand this is a conversation about our "new society"- but what's with all the groveling over the stimulus check?

No groveling permitted
 

Commenting vs. groveling....I consider it the former.
I just checked the definition of groveling, and it makes no sense in this context.
Maybe commenting vs. growling works better. No growling, please. We should all wait patiently for our allowance.

Yes, you are “missing something”
You seem to miss a lot but I realize it’s because you’re blinded by your “new society” ideology. There is no “new society.” There is however, a grand, manipulation of existing society.

I received a letter in the mail today from the Dept of the Treasury letting me know that my stimulus check was sent out (I received the Direct Deposit payment last week). There is a web site and phone number at the bottom that may help anyone looking for more info.

This is for info only. I am not looking to be targeted for the signature on the bottom of the letter.

Thank you for the civil comment.

The statement "Now we can pay our taxes" was made on this thread. Yes, I saw the emoji, but still...

It doesn't seem to me that anyone here is getting into food lines- at least not in the Lakes Region.

My apology for misunderstanding you, Jethro (Hillcountry- see what I did there?)
You like to "bait" people to get a rise out of them- you ARE a troll!

You said you “must be missing something” and I just agreed with you. As far as “bait” yes I am a fisherman and have “caught” many fish while trolling.
Name calling doesn’t bother me in the least...let’s see what else you can “do there”

Hopefully post CV-11, many will reconsider preparing for wide ranging emergency situations. Yes, it requires spending money on things that aren't frivolous like food and paper goods. It will also require people to not spend money on frivolous things and establish a rainy day account.

Light travels faster than sound...
 

That's why some people appear intelligent, until they open their mouth! :laugh:

I just read an article that said if you are on Social Security you will not get your money direct deposit unless you go to the following website.
Get my payment tool website.
The article said that the Social Security administration is not in sync as much as you would think with the IRS. If you don’t go to the website, you will eventually receive your check in the mail. If you want to speed it up, now you can. Hope this helps.

I got a letter from the treasury today, saying we are getting the $2400 by direct deposit, and we didn't have to do anything at all beforehand. We are retired and on SS. I filed my return back in March and had the refund due come by direct deposit. So what is the "article" that you read that implied otherwise?

I was just scrolling through the news and it was a story in the business section by Forbes dated today April 28, 2020.

I remember forum members were wondering why they didn’t get it and I thought this might help.

I don’t know how to click on a link like so many people do, otherwise I would.

Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes . . .
 

. . . from Mark Twain - "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt." Although I love this quote, I don't follow it too often!

Which also reminds me of - "Never write if you can speak; never speak if you can nod; never nod if you can wink."

The difference is that you already filed your taxes. Only if you have not filed do you need to enter the direct deposit info...that’s how I understood it anyway.
We didn’t file yet as we are taking advantage of the grace period.

I just looked up the title of the article.

Social Security recipients: You may have to act to get your stimulus money electronically.

I googled this and found” the article” that you asked about.
The article directs you to the website that I posted earlier. It said that many Social Security recipients, not all, are having problems. I guess you were lucky.

Major- I don't think I've EVER agreed/understood with anything you've posted- but this IS good!

Thanks!
