The pandemic hit in 2020. We should not use 2019 income to determine relief eligibility.

1. I agree with Ms. AOC....

2. K&R

3. Why isn't that obvious?

[Ms. Toad]

5. Why isn't it obvious that the government does not yet know the 2020 income for most of us yet?

Tax returns for 2020 are due April 15 (give or take a day for weekends/holidays).

6. Exactly!

8. USPS mail is toe up from floor up, really late W2s

[Ms. Toad]

4. Don't know about you, but I haven't filed my 2020 taxes yet.

Pretty hard for them to determine what to send to folks who have not yet filed taxe returns.

I'd certainly rather have money now, rather than wait on money until after my return is filed.

7. The stimulus should not be limited to 50K singles or 100K married.

9. Dear Joe Manchin. Oh never mind. The country isn't all like West Virginia.

10. That's why it has to be given to everyone . 2020 taxes are not even being accepted right now.

11. Using 2019 income as a starting point is fine

There just needs to be a mechanism added so people with drastic changes from 2019 to 2020 can state that and request
the relief

Also 18,19,20 year olds who were dependents in 19 should be able to receive the relief if their situation has changed
