Now that you've received your economic impact payment, how should you spend it?

BALTIMORE — According to the Treasury Department, millions of Americans should've received their economic impact payments from the IRS.

The payments were issued to eligible 2019 or 2018 federal tax return filers who received a refund using direct deposit.

Payments are capped at $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 for couples, and are based on income.

2:34 & 2:49. SS retirees will receive their $1200 in the same manner that they receive their monthly money. If your money is deposited monthly into your bank account, then you have already received it or will shortly. If you receive your money every month on a Direct Express debit card, you can expect the deposit in the last week of April. All others will have to wait until sometime in May for a paper check.

Why are retirees getting this money ? Everyone bitches about people getting hand outs and they are all drooling for 1200 dollars. If that is really life changing BANK for you your really not a Conservative. You just don't want to be lump in with poor Democrats which it turns out you actually ARE.

I'm not spending it. Never know when things may turn south and will need it. Won't spend on frivolous things if the time comes. Food & shelter.

Found this... Some deadbeat parents might be in for an unpleasant surprise.

"Your stimulus money is not subject to garnishment by the government, even for back taxes or student loan defaults. However, if you owe past-due child support payments that have been reported to the Treasury Department, your stimulus check will be reduced to pay the past due amount. In addition, your stimulus money can be levied or garnished by private debt collectors."

@ April 17, 2020 at 9:00 PM. Oh, it's coming and there is nothing they can do about it. Getting sick and tired of the bullshite coming out of some peoples mouth. Also tired of the crime and abuse of the welfare system and no one doing anything about it to keep them quiet and vote for lousy democrats. Let republicans promise them more money on welfare and watch how fast they change parties. But it is coming. A lot of things are going to change. They will raise hell, but so what.
