(2,109 posts)on mortgages was included in the stimulus..I called my bank and they asked same questions as article stated.
For reference, I read it on raw Story and followed link, link provided below,everything from article was proven true from my experience, we dont have Covid 19 as I shut down my house a month ago,but all I had to do was answer how Corvid19 affected me financially, which it has as my hcp daughter does not go today services anymore,hence I need to buy more snacks and lunches that they provided, my wife's fathers estate was scheduled for auction on April 18,,which was cancelled.. and my bank bowed quickly.
So maybe there are things being withheld form us to protect those who take our money? hmmm.. Great observation and link marmar!
