Just a quick question, and it is simply wanting to know if YOU received that $1,200.00stimulus check yet. And do you know someone who has received the check.

In our mobile home park of 100 people, only one got the check, and it wasn't me. Boo-whooooo! Why is the government like being in the military? It is ALWAYS, "Hurry up and WAIT!"

If you are expecting direct deposit, which are the only ones out yet I think, you need to check the irs site. I had to update my info, since I have been paying in for many years. If you get your info updated by Thurs., you should get the deposit the following week. Paper checks are supposed to be going out to people in order of their income, with the lowest incomes first. Higher, but still qualifying will not go out until around Sept.

RD, if you use that IRS link, which I used to update my routing #, it now shows on mine that deposits will be made on Apr 30. Cheers.

My mom passed away in January 2019.

The post office is forwarding her mail to my sister.

My mom received her stimulus check today!

Considering framing it and putting up on the wall.

It does have "Donald J. Trump" printed on it, ya know.

A neighbor of mine received a stimulus check in the amount of $2,400.

$1,200 for himself, and $1,200 for his (deceased) wife.

He checked the box on the front of the envelope which indicates "deceased."

He then mailed the check (in the amount of $2,400) back to the return address, indicated on the upper left hand corner of the envelope.

As I understand it, to do otherwise is (technically) against federal law, and entails a hefty fine, or prison time, due to it being considered "fraud."

Now, I don't know that I would have done the same (faced with the identical circumstances), but I applaud his reasoning, for having done so.

He consulted with a relative of his who works for the IRS, in Washington D.C.

And she instructed him to follow the aforementioned course of action.

She recommended he mail it back via "certified mail," so that it required a signature (verifying that the check was signed by an employee of the IRS).

However, his primary motivation for following through on her advice was because to do otherwise would have violated his conscience.

Given that was his reasoning for doing so, I applaud his (reasoned) decision. :)
