Electronic payments could be sent out next Thursday, the internal document said, but paper checks are set to be mailed out to Americans on a weekly rotation beginning later.

The plan set priority, starting April 24, for paper-check distribution to those with the lowest income — individual taxpayers making $10,000 or less.

Checks for those under the $20,000-or-less bracket are to be mailed a week later, on May 1, under the plan, followed by Americans earning $30,000 or less on May 8, and so on.

Oh. Same here. His starts with 00, mine with 85. Croney Apr 2020 #3

Sigh. So close to truth. Dark humor has a whole new meaning. LakeArenal Apr 2020 #5

Are you sure this isn't their fed income tax refund SCantiGOP Apr 2020 #2

She says they owe $3400 in federal taxes. Croney Apr 2020 #4

Maybe should wait to cash it until its origins are clear. 2naSalit Apr 2020 #6

She was on her way to deposit it so I'm sure it's too late for caution. Croney Apr 2020 #7

Make sure it is an actual check. gibraltar72 Apr 2020 #8

Really? I'll ask her about it. She's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, Croney Apr 2020 #9

I hope this is not what happened, but I'd be very interested to know if it turned out to be. pnwest Apr 2020 #15

Is it signed by Donald J Fuckbucket? Alex4Martinez Apr 2020 #10

Ooh good question. I'll ask. Croney Apr 2020 #11

Her reply Croney Apr 2020 #16

Yay! As it should be! eom Alex4Martinez Apr 2020 #19

Really? I didn't have any idea. Thanks. Croney Apr 2020 #28

I think maybe it should be "Vona Robinson" Alex4Martinez Apr 2020 #42

Did The Donald sign it? Raven Apr 2020 #12

I'm waiting for her answer on that. Croney Apr 2020 #13

My sister's reply about signature Croney Apr 2020 #14

Nora Robinson? I could find no U.S. Treasury official by that name. subterranean Apr 2020 #43

Sounds weird and fishy but who knows........ Bengus81 Apr 2020 #17

Is her income high enough to where it would have reduced the $1,200 to LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #18

good point Kali Apr 2020 #20

But wasn't the reduction to be in $5 increments? LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #23

yeah, but who knows with this bunch of clowns Kali Apr 2020 #24

Yes, that was my impression as well. LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #25

Maybe they take taxes out? She's retired. Croney Apr 2020 #27

No taxes will be taken from an actual stimulus check. LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #32

The stimulus payments are not due to start until April 9th mnhtnbb Apr 2020 #21

I was under the impression Kali Apr 2020 #22

Perhaps Chainfire Apr 2020 #26

Here's what I would do: LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #29

She said the bank accepted it without question. Croney Apr 2020 #33

That doesn't mean the check is an official government check, necessarily. LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #34

It's a mystery then. Croney Apr 2020 #36

It could indeed be a good check from the treasury, LuckyCharms Apr 2020 #38

She's a Rethug. Maybe they are at the front of the line. Croney Apr 2020 #30

That is not the stimulus check n/t obamanut2012 Apr 2020 #31

That's very suspicious -- The amount should not be uneven lettucebe Apr 2020 #35

Too late, she went to the bank, they took it with no questions, Croney Apr 2020 #37

Maybe IRS found a error marlakay Apr 2020 #40

She says they owe $3400 though. Croney Apr 2020 #41

It could be an error from a previous year. Vinca Apr 2020 #44

any update on this? Kali Apr 2020 #45

No news. When I told her to be careful, she said Croney Apr 2020 #46

thanks for the reply, if you ever find out PM me! Kali Apr 2020 #47
