Who Qualifies for a Third $1,400 Stimulus Check?

The U.S. Congress is slated to approve the third round of direct stimulus payments in less than a year, meaning that most Americans can expect another cash infusion in the coming weeks.

Once President Joe Biden signs the measure into law, the Internal Revenue Service will send more than $410 billion to low- and middle-income households, the largest batch of direct household payments yet during the pandemic.

Democrats say that these $1,400 payments, combined with $600 approved in December, fulfill a pledge made late last year to send $2,000 checks to American households.

The hope is that the payments can help families cover costs while hundreds of millions of people wait to be vaccinated and return to more normal daily routines.

“That 2000 will go out the door immediately”-Joe Biden. 😆

How long are they going to milk this? They're acting like theyre ending poverty but 1400 per year is NOTHING and here's the kicker, ITS YOUR MONEY TO BEGIN WITH!!!! and you're only getting 9% of what you put in.

[monicathomas]

Work pay taxes then receive your stimulus money!

[dandrehoward]

The stimulus is 9% of the bill ... WHERE THE HELL IS THE REST

Hold up, 600 in December is Biden’s stimulus? Do you think we’re dumb?

[ericburton]

Ok but remember people Pelosi said yesterday this is our last check, gotta make that $1400 last until this time next year according to Biden

[abeaguirre]

Third???I'm still waiting for my first

The Americans that will suffer for our stupidity are not born yet. They will be the sad recipients of our ignorance. This money must be paid back, it's not monopoly money.

[OpieDogie]

Don’t hold your breath people until you got the cash in your hand.

[Pinkielover]

1.9 trillion to 350 million People is Roughly $5500 to every single person in America... How are we only getting $1400 and that's not even everybody..They should be ashamed of themselves.. 100% of the money should go to the people not less than 10%

[richardwiggins]

Wow, up to 75, 000 you say...
Guess I qualify I'm under 14, 000 a year...my life sucks

[Giselle-sijy]

Will undocumented parents (who file taxes) with kids born in the U.S get the check for the kids?

[Javi-Boxing]

It would’ve been pretty dope if in this explanation you would’ve explained the limits on household filers!

[CrucialConflict.]

I can't wait to get mine and buy tons of toilet paper

[viper]

People with steady paying jobs shouldn't be given a stimulus check... if you survived on X amount of dollars/year before covid, you can survive with that during covid. More money should go to small businesses and people that are actually struggling.

[JB-ybwe]

Your title is misleading. This is "the third stimulus" worth "$1400 this time." Not "the third $1400 stimulus." Prior to this the stimulus checks were $1200 and $600 respectively. This is the first $1400 stimulus.

So I’m claimed as an adult dependent (19) but I’m not sure my parents qualify for any money, would they still get the money that’s for me?

[IAM-cteu]

That's like asking who qualifies for bankruptcy. All of you because money is not real. Bring on the aliens.
