Both my son and daughter won't be getting highly needed relief checks [View all]

My son is in Naples, Florida, worked fulltime at a metal fabricator (layed off via virus, so unemployment is unlikely too by the looks of Florida). He is 28 years old and a hard worker just trying to get ahead. He is in default on a student loan. In the irs2go app he recieved a message that his check is going to pay a federal debt. Luckily I am in a place where I can loan him money. My 26 year old daughter isn't getting her $1200.00 because she checked the box that asked if she can be claimed as a dependent on someone's taxes. She also isnt working and truly needs it. We are loaning her $$$. I can only imagine how many are out there that have similar stories. It appears, sadly, that those that need it the most are being left out. Heartbreaking, especially for those out there that are homeless, hungry and haven't parents that can loan them $$$ The well off are certainly getting theirs though.
