Stimulus Check has been the big talking point among the people of America at the moment. If you’re like millions of Americans who have been unemployed for over 6 months, you must be wondering if you’ll get a stimulus check.
If so, this guide will help clear up any confusion about the $600 stimulus rebate and what it means for your unemployment benefits. The $600 reimbursement will be taxable. If you are unemployed, the reimbursement may be deducted from your taxes.
If you are employed, the reimbursement may be deducted from your taxes. The amount you receive depends on the number of children in your home. The maximum payment is $600 and the minimum is $300.
Stimulus Check Questions Answered
If you have one child, then you will receive a monthly payment of $50, which would be divided into two payments (one sent every other week). If you have two children, then each child’s half would be paid out separately every other week. You may be eligible for a stimulus check if you’re one of the following:
- Not eligible for previous stimulus checks. This includes people who weren’t eligible in the past because they didn’t meet all of the criteria, or because they had already received a payment.
- Eligible for previous stimulus checks, but not yet received. If you were previously eligible and did not receive a payment at that time, you can apply again now if your circumstances have changed significantly since then. You must have been living in an area that qualified for a rebate when it was first offered; however, you can still apply even if you are no longer living there today (and vice versa).
The IRS will begin mailing the first round of checks in early October. If you don’t receive your payment by the end of the year, contact the IRS directly at 800-829-1040 to find out where your check may be.
If you suspect that there is an issue with getting paid because you were fired or laid off, contact your state unemployment office right away before accepting any payments from them
