Only if your gross adjusted amount on the final line of irs tax 1040(which determines the amount of tax you will pay) is above $75000.
I just get a small SS check.Only if your gross adjusted amount on the final line of irs tax 1040(which determines the amount of tax you will pay) is above $75000.
Then you should get the full $1200.
I don't mean to pry, but if you make less than $750 in SS (or something like that), you could qualify for an SSI check to bring you up to that $750-ish threshold.
PS: SSI is not disability as some people erroneously think, it's Supplemental Security Income - available to people who make very little on SS or SSDI and meet the other qualifications). In some states, those who qualify for SSI will automatically also be enrolled in SNAP benefits if they are not already enrolled. Also, you could also qualify for medicaid in addition to your medicare thereby eliminating the 20% you are responsible for on medical bills.
Anyhow, sorry if that was TMI
Then it seems you qualify for the $1200.
You will get it faster if when you filed your 2018 or 2019 taxes and got your refund direct deposited.
Or if you get your ss money monthly direct deposited into your banking acct.
Those who receive it by check will have to wait longer.
If you are not required to file income tax then look at the link I posted for further instructions on that.
I do not qualify for SS myself and can only collect on my husband's. He spent way too much of his life traveling the country and working under the table. Once he finally settled down he was a self-employed mechanic til he got really sick. When he was alive we collected a little over $1000 because he qualified for Medicaid. Once he passed away I did not get enough to pay the taxes on the house so I rented it to my gd and moved to my dd's. The rent money makes me ineligible for Medicaid but now I can pay the taxes on the house. I end up with a small amount of spending money each month after expenses.Then you should get the full $1200.

My SS is a Direct Deposit.Then it seems you qualify for the $1200.

Yay. Then it should be there very shortly. Maybe check your checking account and see if its pending?
I had no idea there was a way a person could collect their deceased spouse's SS check. When my grandfather died, her husband's SS check was terminated. But thankfully she had his private pension to collect.
Did that already. Not yet.Yay. Then it should be there very shortly. Maybe check your checking account and see if its pending?
It's income/tax based I believe and I don't know much else.
I am less optimistic it's a student loan thing. I am in default (I had no idea, actually because I got the default letter with every single other one so I missed the deadline.) My high credit score is now really low which mucks up our plans completely. I am going to pay the stupid 400 dollars today by phone and beg them if there is anything I can do to remediate but it will not be in time I don't think.
So now, I don't know where we are going to go or what we are going to do. Really if we keep renting now it will have to be forever, unless I try to get a job immediately which I just can't do.
My PIP plan is for a month; there is nothing in it about it not expiring if I am out sick so I SUPPOSE I could take a month, and if they try to shove another one in my face, refuse to sign it. But I'm not sure this is a good idea at all, either.
But again, they would find SOMETHING. So who knows, etc. And, I'm just not seeing happiness and future bliss for me at the moment.
IDK. I need to stop shoving pieces of paper plopped down in front of me, my boss is just excellent at intimidation.
Have not heard back from the sis yet. I am getting my FMLA done though so that's good. Hopefully there is a way to make it open ended. Etc.
I don't want to go back and I don't think it's smart. I will call my student loan place but I thought I was discharged but something about quarters and stuff caused it to come back. They couldn't find me, so I was like 20 days from default anyway. Sigh.

Up until very recently--maybe a few years ago, they started allowing the taxpayer to collect both. But maybe at a decreased amount....each case is different. One to check with the irs for.
Case in point,,,,,me- I receive a pension and was allowed to file for ss because of working 2 jobs for years but they penalized me greatly for it. Was only getting $ at a whopping $15.00 a month after they took out my part b premiums. Hey, something is better than nothing.
