What You Need To Know About Coronavirus Stimulus Checks | NBC Nightly News
The reporter fails to mention the feds are going to put a $600/week add on to the state’s unemployment insurance (which is a joke her in Michigan). They still aren’t clear when that is going to kick in though.
Don’t need to pay anything besides my internet but I believe they told their customers we’ll get more time to pay w/o them cutting it off. I’m on Newegg adding stuff to my wishlist lol Stay safe everyone
lmao talk about priorities. doing the same thing as well though, amazon and newegg wishlist 😁
*My Fiance said*
_”On the news they said they are no longer going to give the money to people.”_
*LIES….* I ought to pop him in his mouth for telling such lies…
Forget that check only people who should get it and more are the people who still out here working front line putting there life on the line while the CEOs home we’re there kids pay this people working like they could loose there life Dame giving people on unemployment more money or disability or the people home with there family they are good…
Damm find a or job in a store gas station something just for now I’m not waiting for no check just my work check
1200 won’t even cover rent in NJ
Then move somewhere where it will problem solved your welcome
Both my husband and I are unemployed. I need this help!
file for un employement asap , if that fails , have someone push u down staircase , file for disability
Jon Cook with my luck, I’d get denied.
@Jay Simon no , think positive
@Jay Simon U CAN NOW APPLY ON IRS WEBSITE IF U MADE LESS THAN AMOUNT TO FILE!
USA 🇺🇸 are for Winners only ☝🏻😉
That doesn’t help people paying child support they are screwed
I Hate Negative People 👎
Small businesses don’t need loans we need relief. As far as mortgages go they should just extend the term of the loan for a few months. If people deferred the payments for a few months they won’t have the money to pay 3 mortgage payments when everything goes back to normal
0:35 How naive can you be?
Spectrum cut off our internet the other day!!! Sooooo that’s a lie
I heard in one of these videos you might not get one and if you don’t you’re going to get a tax credit when filing your 2020 taxes ? Who knows i will believe it when I see it
Should of saved like your life and your family’s depends on it!! Because it does!!!
Thar’s what you get for spending your money before you get it. If anyone crashes and burns in less than a month I have no sympathy for you. You did it to yourself.
Most people would be trying to spend the money on bitcoin.
1200 bucks as a one time payment is a straight up kick in the nuts to the men and women who made these jack offs wealthy. Every red blooded american especially the “essential workers”need to just stay home and let the entire system crash. That is how you as cituzens take the power back from washington.
Hey NBC, Talk to us about the causation linking the doubling, tripling, quadrupling of a economies money supply to INFLATION. Hmmmm? Got any comment? Didn’t think so……………..
LEGIT WORK AT HOME JOBS…….SUBSCRIBE…TWO CHICKS WITH A SIDE HUSTLE…….THEY POST LEGIT WORK AT HOME JOBS
People who are claimed as a dependent dont get it
Trump you can give my money to someone how needs it more I’m good .. 😀
Will it be deposited on the card they sent me for my tax return
Wow people already behind what 1200 gonna do ! What about next month !
I’ve been saving money for a car so I need this 🤦🏽♂️
That’s a lie I’m with tmobile and my phone was turned off yesterday
The moral to the story is Americans need to put emergency cash away save 10% of your income! For rainy day
cesar pires but majority live pay check to pay check that’s not possible people can’t even afford a 200$ ticket
Click my dp..
Hii
Put the sick away so the healthy can play.
He said “never in a million years would I have thought I would ever be unemployed.”
I don’t believe him.
UP TO $1,200?????
No relief for the people who live in or near the expensive cities where the annual income is higher but the cost of living is extremely high. Thanks Gov’t.
No one is forcing them to live there ……move somewhere else solved the problem for free
@Alex Rodriguez Alex Rodriguez Not that simple Alex. In that case, all the people getting laid off , or don’t make enough money should just move somewhere to get better pay .No one is forcing them to take a job that pays less. Problem solved for free and 1200 from the government isn’t needed.
(CORONAVIRUS IS WEAPONIZED – AMAZON part of the ONE WORLD GOV’t) (More truth here) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciCNSXmVVxc
REMEMBER-
1- When Trump closed China travel, everyone called him recist. If it were to Democrats, the ban wouldn’t have been implemented till March.
2- Pelosi and other Democrats urged people to come and crowd the Chinatowns to show their fake moral superiority till early March.
3- No outside medical team was allowed by China to go and investigate the outbreak. People didn’t have the knowledge of the severity and pandemic that was coming. The leftist media never criticized China but instead picked up on Trump for every petty thing.
4- China blamed it on US military then Italy for the outbreak.
5- CCP owns WHO and your media and hollywood.
6- MSM is showing fake news clips like from Italian hospitals to pass it as conditions in US.
7- Democrats and Obama are more concerned about climate change ,abortions and transgender operations than the pandemic.
8- Hollywood is full of virtue signallers where talent doesn’t matter anymore but taking sides matter.
9- Media is unnecessarily sensationalizing the bad condition of healthcare which is not true. This is a once in a 50 years pandemic and Trump is doing a very good job even after constantly getting attacked.
10- China’s numbers are not true. Real numbers might be 100x for what anyone can guess.
Never vote for a Democrat ever, it will destroy your future generations. Even if you are the only conservative voter left, never vote for a Democrat. LIBERALS ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS.

just found out my dad claimed me as a pendent but I did my taxes 2018 do I still qualify ??
not if he claimed you as a dependent on his
So is this why we all got ripped off on our 2019 tax refund our government is pretending to help us when in reality thier just giving us part of what they already owe us and they want us to be thankful???
Im so thankful that my wife, son and I are financially stable during this time. We also filed our tax late so we just received it yesterday and my wife is a teacher so although she’s not working shes still getting her full check. As for me I still work 5 days a week since the owner of the company wont close. Every one struggling right now dont give up and reach out to your phone company, energy provider, internet provider, any bank you have a loan from. They will all let you have your service without pay until around May or June, and work something out with your landlord since they will be getting a break from their mortgage as well
Track your stimulus check at (800)746-6373
Mine is arriving April 10
Might as well not even count on it, because now their saying the paper checks will go out 20 weeks from now and direct deposit will be in 3 weeks. I can’t imagine the unemployment situation, seeings how its up to 6.6 million Americans unemployed now. We are f@cked.
Q: What happens when my state unemployment benefits run out can I qualify for the 13 week extension my unemployment benefits run out a week ago help please
They are money machine they womt run out
How can I reject it.
You can talk too your renter lol
bc of this stupid virus i cant finish my freshman year of highschool BRO school is actually so fun even the learning part all i want is to go back to school but i cant bc its cancelled and going to school would be the best thing ever im never taking school for granted again
Dumbasses….the irs will provide on their website a way to input your banking info so you dont have to wait months for paper.
I’m sorry but 1,200 is a mosquito bite! We at least 3,100
Ha! File your taxes to get you relief check faster…yeah, right. I am still waiting for my tax return. I filed on Feb 2. They cant even get the regular tax returns out on time much less extra money.
Is it 99k or 75k? I’m lost
Will I get one ? I’m 19 years old and filed my own taxes for 2019 and my parents did not claim me as a dependent on their taxes
You should get $1200
Dustin Stein alright thanks
Can someone just tell if I qualify? the last time i filed my taxes and received a refund was in 2018
No
If you recently filed and used your bank account, your money will be there in April. The rest will be checks and they will be in July. About 10 million will lose their homes. Remember that all we need is food, shelter and clothing. God has promised that He will cover that and more. Don’t fall for the blame game. This isn’t Calvary, so no matter what, they can’t hurt us as bad as they hurt him. Bring it on !!! With food, shelter and clothing, I don’t even want a check. Just get the corona behind us. Camping might be fun for a few years. Perhaps they will allow us to live in National Parks.
Only out of touch Politicians think $1200 is the answer. Let’s ask them… Do you know how much a gallon of milk cost, how about a loaf of bread, how much is a gallon of gas? The list could go on and on.
Wheres my money
Its better than nothing. Take it and use it as best as you can.
Folks, you have to pay tax on this next year!
This video didnt answer much
Why are we making it difficult?
Look Dummies. You helped foreign countries with much more money.
And in cash. Read on.
How the US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq. And watched it vanish.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1
Now start filling those oversized tin Cans with the Benjamins and start distributing it to all Americans. Jeez!!!
Done it before, Do it for US now!!!
It’s not like you don’t own the 💸💸💸 Printing Press.
I only get SSI and it’s only 704.70 and when I pay my rent and light bill I don’t have any money left to eat
try to apply at postoffice- get off welfare!
Canadians are paying out $8000 in comparison. That is what a country can do when it is not bankrupted by a military budget that has to police the entire world.
NO 5G TOWERS ITS KILLING PEOPLE.
If we filed our taxes for 2018 but didn’t file for 2019 are we ineligible to get the stimulus check? We both are SS and get under 50,000.
The eligibility is based on 2018 tax return so you should be able to. Did you set up a direct deposit when you filed your taxes? If you do you’ll get it faster in your bank account.
@TL
We do have direct deposit. Who do we contact to give our direct deposit info?
Anita Mooreland-Simms
If you filed your taxes your direct deposit information should be on file and you should get the check automatically soon. There’s nothing you need to do.
@TL
Thank you.
Canada is giving $2000 a month to everyone for 4 months, this is embarrassing
@TL recession then depression? history repeats its self- 1920- 2020
I ask that you rewatch video. At around 50 seconds or so, they clearly state $1200 to start then for the eligible an additional $600 per week up to four months. Imjs. Just my personal opinion I’m thankful and grateful that some of the government is putting aside politics and are actually here for the people.
@TL Depending on which state you from, here in California, we have up to 450 dollars a week on unemployment insurance that last up to 26 weeks or 6 months and a half (with stimulus, it’s being extended to additional 13 or 14 weeks), the first four months gets an additional 600 dollars on top of what individual gets. So you could get up to 1050 bucks per week or 4200 dollars a month!!! The 600 dollars additional alone amounts to 2800 AMERICAN DOLLARS! That’s certainly way more significant than what they’d be getting from the socialist welfare state of Canada and the Canadian dollar.
Oh well it almost sounds like u dont want the money. Dont take it then. Do u prefer some money or no money at all boy. It even better, become the president…let’s see how much better u can do for the country.
Anderson Toledo
I’m not gonna get it anyway cuz i make higher than the income threshold 🙃
I’m buying a xbox one x with it.
It’s so stupid. Since I’m claimed as a dependent I won’t be getting anything. I’m 22 and recently graduated college. I’m moving to Nevada soon for more job opportunities. I could really use the money.
Found this, might help some ppl atleast reduce cost of paying cell phone bills until we get the money
FREE PHONE and FREE service if you qualify

God her voice is annoying.
Thank god my dad is essential I can’t possibly image the the pain the people are going thru not being able to eat because the got fired or temporarily without a job I pray we could go back to the stores and see people without face mask but just think when this virus is over we will see people outside more then the usually do stay safe stay healthy stay at home and god bless everybody
how much will we get taxed off the 1200?
I think I will buy a used car.
I mean everyone complaining why not just go apply to supermarkets their all hiring and in need badly why wait on the government or your unemployment go out and do something about it
I’m going to use mine to buy the playstation 5,coming out soon,this is a bonus check I might buy 2 playstation 5
Buy me one I will pay you back
@Kevin O Ok,but just 1,are u sure? Because I have more than enough for at least 1 more,in total I can buy 4 ,so let me know asap,that way I can pre- order asasp
Instead of $ 1,200 it should be at least $ 210,now that is more than enough for everyone.
Made 15k through David. Thanks to him, he’s been of great help to my family and friends. He also paid off all my credit card debts. You can text him 4 6 9 – 3. 3 6 – 8 8 5 6
Why we have to show the taxes to get the money if the president never show he’s taxes
What i dont understand is i filed my taxes the first week in february. Its now april and still havent recieved my tax refund (praise God we still get one). 2 weeks ago i got a letter from the IRS saying my return would be delayed for a review, which has never happened before, its the same way we file every year no complicated filing thru a popular tax filing agency. The government is so focused on these stimulus packages but in my case all they have to do is give me my tax return!!! Were in a world crisis and they think now is the best time for a review on my tax return.??? If they really want to help give the people what is owed for legally paying their taxes, its even worse when its money that belongs to us. To heck with getting extra assistance i just want what is already owed to my family. Its simple yet were all still waiting on a solution to care for our families financial needs if work is no longer an option. I know God will provide and the only hope we have is through Jesus. Prayer with you all and God bless. Faith over fear!!!
Lord I hope I get my tax money I’m still waiting for cause whatever money I get im saving to take care of my four kids
I’m seriously in direct dire need for it with my mom with her car living homeless!!!
Where do I get this money?
give us our god dam checks already we are starving.
Time for the snobs to fall from their clouds!
Things are getting scary in my house! I have 40 bucks to last me until the 2ed of next month…
We Just Keep Waiting…For Everything!! I see Canada is sending 2K a month for relief?!?
God Bless Our Canadian Brothers And Sisters!
“Stimulus checks provide record number of Cadillac down payments” – there, I fixed the headline. Yeah Boi!!!!!
This is how u get the coronavirus economic impact payments 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
Please pay attention if u want this money in your bank account. Requirements: 1) must have either a checking or savings account, IF NOT THEY WILL SEND YOU A CHECK 2) must have ID or driver’s license information on hand for the IRS, if not leave blank
(Link below) Goodluck!!!!
Click the notification bell and subscribe, thank you!!!
DONT GIVE CAROLE BASKIN A STIMULUS CHECK
Is it possible to get less than $100? Is that heard of? What would the check say on it? How can we identify it’s a stimulus check?
They disregarded all teenagers over 16 and high school seniors. Really ! How did you leave out the 9/11 babies. Our PRESIDENT SAID ALL AMERICANS !!!!!!
In your dreams maybe. wake up, your still broke. d:
If you have anything that is in collections and depending on the amount and the collector, you can kiss that check good bye. Even when we the America people need this money, our government is allowing debt collectors to take it. I’m from Kentucky and I was notified today that a collection agency has taken my $1200.00. How many more and are you another victim of big money?
Elizabeth inmanfor Patricia Wheeler ssi
I haven’t got taxes back in 6 years what makes you think I’m getting a check
Half are going to go to the bar with their stimulus check
Man, that sushi dinner I spent my entire stimulus check on sure was good!!
The government is never this generous without an agenda! What’s the plot? I don’t want it
They want you to die. Thanks for watching
Hi my name is Courtney posada I have not yet reviewed my check yet
I have not received my stimulus check because Child support took it I need help to talk to some one and help me with this please and thank you and let me know who helping thank you
Patheic liberals. One family is just fine with a nice home and they get $3300 and yard parties all day.
Another family gets nothing for a older teen and the dad is self employed or owes child support to a previous wife.gets nothing.( Then he looses his licence). This is all a smoke screen scheme to destroy the family and Christianity, our entire society nearly bankrupt and theres no conclusive evidence that civid19 is a deadly disease no more than Sars, swine flu, ebola, influenza, N2H3 Hong kong flu 1967 68 69 killed millions and no mask or stay home.
