    As I read the tentative summary of eligibility, adjusted gross income on the 2018 return has to be $75,000 or less as an individual (or $150,000 or less joint), to qualify for the full amount; the payout decreases incrementally up to the top cap of $99,000 per individual ($198,000 joint) above which eligibility ends. There are likely other stipulations or exceptions yet to be revealed. This post was edited by Don Barzini at March 27, 2020 2:32 PM MDT

    I just heard on a Q&A with Dr. Agus on CBS that retirees are eligible.

    It will help. I lost a big bundle from one of my accounts. I haven't told my wife yet.

    I suspect a lot of people will face similar circumstances. Let’s not overlook the fact that this is occurring worldwide, and the impact on the working classes everywhere will be unprecedented in every measure.

    I would think retirees are eligible if they meet the income requirements.  Are you saying that irrespective of how much you earn, if you're retired, you're eligible?

    No it is income based.  But must have filed a 1040 either this year or last year. Most Seniors on SS do not file because they do not owe anything.  I am helping my MIL file her's tonight.

  • I do.  It will be nice to have some extra income to provide some essentials.  Like video games and those Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies.

    Shhh. Don’t give them any ideas Bob, or those Little Debbies will instantly be as hard to find as a 24 pack of Charmin double rolls.
