Good article regarding who gets how much & how to qualify for the stimulus checks.

I was glad to find out that retired people on SS will get a check!

1. I am on SS so I was worried.

Thanks for this!

2. Wow!

Per the linked WaPo calculator in the CNET piece, we're getting $900.
That's way more than I expected. I figured we were getting nothing.

3. I guess,

I guess we homeless elders with no income or SS will also be getting one, that is, if they look us up

4. Thanks but if one ages out of foster care at 18 or are on your own but under 20

and working (not going to school )then no check.? Or do they mean 17- 19 with no reported income ? I hope it is the latter. Not every young adult has a family to fall back on

Young people aged 17 to 23 may not receive a payment

College students between 19 and 23 don't qualify, nor do young people aged 17 to 19 (who may or may not be students).

5. I could be wrong

but I think the "college students" thing concerns students that are claimed on a parent's taxes as a dependent. If a student is paying their own way (work, grants, or loans) and claim their own personal exemption, then they should be eligible for this. But, that would have had to be the case on the last tax return the IRS can look up for that person.
