Stimulus checks losing money... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (4801)   ranked 876 out of 37,995 in life2 years ago

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but a friend today mentioned that he and his wife found out that the stimulus checks are running out of money. They were suppose to get 600 each and now they are only able to get just 600..All the people that have already got them are lucky and the others waiting will be left not getting what was promised.
Have you got yours? or are you waiting?

Please may I ask what a Stimulus Check is Kitty.
It must be something only in your part of the world.
I have not heard of them here downunder.

Goodie..I'm sorry i should have mention the american stupid check our mighty leader thought would help the ecomomy..LOL..now it seems to be backfiring on them..LOL..bad news for those who were expecting to pay bills,buy food or just take a break.


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7548)   ranked 1,034 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

Would have been mighty nice of your mighty leader,
To check and see if there was enough money in the coffers before offering it to everyone.
That is the trouble with politics.
We always get offered stuff, but never receive it.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (4801)   ranked 876 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

I know and i heard that the money is going over to Iraq..now i guess they figured that when everyone heard that they would say like i did that yes our soldiers need help, but no its for the country to help build them back after we bombed them..Go figure?


myLot reputation of 93/100. Goodie123 (7548)   ranked 1,034 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

That is something I have never been able to figure out Kitty.
A country spends millions of dollars bombing the crap out of another country,
Then give's them money to help rebuild it.
So they can go in again next time and do more damage.
Why bomb them in the first place.
Think of all the money they could have saved.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (4801)   ranked 876 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

Maybe if us women ruled things would be..Would you like some cream with your tea?..LOL..but no its boys never growing up..bullying others for more power..oh well guess i better go to sleep..getting tired..talk with you when its my morning..

I haven't gotten mine yet but I'm not surprised at this. Oh well, that will be all the less I'll have to pay back to them next year now won't it? It's not free money anyway. It is forced borrowing is what it is.


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (4801)   ranked 876 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

Sid are you right about this? i was under the impression this was something extra for everyone..if so boy am i wrong!


myLot reputation of 94/100. sid556 (10499)   ranked 183 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

i would like to think i'm wrong but i've heard this from a lot of people so I don't think so. I've heard that it is deducted from next years tax return which makes sense because they are only issuing them to those that filed for returns. those that paid in are not getting checks. I personally think the whole thing is ridiculous....i don't see how it will help the economy in the long run....i do hope i am wrong on this.

I did get mine and it was the amount promised, but my son and his wife only got half of what they were supposed to get.. That is ridiculous if the government officials are saying they are running out of money for these checks.. Keep some of it in the USA and we will have more than enough.. Or better yet, learn to spend it wisely..

4. myLot reputation of 34/100. zukepr (11799)   ranked 18,247 out of 37,995 in life   2 years ago

is this a rumor or do you have an article or something to verify it?
I havent gotten ours back and I hope its just a rumor because we are expecting a rather large sum
did those people file joint?
was there an explanation as to why it had been adjusted?

minus me please, thanks


myLot reputation of 91/100. Rosekitty (4801)   ranked 876 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

Zuke..My friend and his wife filed joint so they were suppose to get 1200..they instead got 600..so he contacted them and they told him that they wouldn't have the amount promised..the people first in line got what was promised but this past week and on will get half of what they are suppose to get.
There are already alot of Po's people very very upset about this and when more find out this will be like a war here..contact them Zuke..and i'm sorry to tell you this bad news.
The explanation was that they needed to send more money to Iraq to help them build the place up from ..now this is my words...from our unecessary bombings.


myLot reputation of 34/100. zukepr (11799)   ranked 18,247 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

That is total crap if that is what they are doing
because of my husband SS# we will be one of the last one mailed out
will there even BE any money by then?
We are expecting the $1200 for him and I plus what ever it is supposed to be for child credits for 5 children
if the rumor about the money going to Iraq is true then the US might be looking at a serious revolt against the government

Warning to Canada - watch out your population may see a very sudden increase!


myLot reputation of 94/100. sid556 (10499)   ranked 183 out of 37,995 in life  2 years ago

maybe this is a blessing in disguise....what I heard is that you will have to pay back next year out of your taxes from this so the less you get...the less you have to pay back. I don't beleive this is a free gift from our government to begin with. It is kind of a forced loan which is unfair.

No, I won't get mine until sometime in June. It seems to me they should have planned this better.. they should have known how much to borrow from China before promising us the money. They should have some idea to how many people are filling out tax returns every year. Go figure!?angry

I hadn't heard that was the reason. I do know we were only expecting $600 for the two of us all along. It had to do with the way the taxes were done, you know, joint, single, blah, blah, blah. The accountant didn't mention an issue with lack of funding. And no, we haven't recieved ours yet but those whom get it electronically deposited are supposed to get theirs first anyhow. We will just have to wait and see.

We have gotten ours. Last time we got $600 each? And extra for having 2 sons in college. This time we still have 2 sons in college, but they only gave us half of what we got last time..$300 for my hubby/and the same for me.
They are finding more loopholes, so that we can no longer get our $600 each. And nothing now for our sons. So this time, unstead of spending the cash on buying and "stimulating" the economy, we are paying own past debt and they get nothing!
If they want us to be able to buy something, they'll have to brong down gas prices and gibe us the money for our kids and the $600 each they did before. At this rate, we will not be buying anything.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Savvynlady (2966)   ranked 1,104 out of 37,995 in life  1 year ago

I thought something was wrong with this. I am a single parent filing head of household, and because my eldest daughter turned 18 in February, they wouldn't give me the $300 for her. Then I thought they would give me $600 for being Head of Household and $300 for each child. I ended up getting $600, $300 each for me and my youngest daughter. She got a cute purse and wallet with it.

I haven't gotton mine and my husband's yet and I really need it. It better be just a rumor because I'd be very mad. My husband deployed over seas because of us needing the money and not being able to do it here. Let's hope they won't do this to one of their soldiers. We are of course suppose to get $12,000... however any free money would be nice. Oh why didn't I do direct deposit...

Where is everyone checking to see when they are getting this stimulus check???
