Millions of families eagerly await the arrival of the second check for $ 600 dollars that is included in the economic stimulus law of $ 900, 000 million dollars approved by Congress, and signed by President Donald Trump, with some delay. However, this second round of direct payments for the pandemic , as with the first, leaves some groups out .
The law establishes certain parameters and there are Americans and residents who do not qualify to receive direct payments, which the Treasury Department has already begun to send and it is estimated that all beneficiaries will receive, either as direct deposit or check, in about two weeks.
The second stimulus checks will include so-called “mixed status” families , or families where U.S. citizens are married to homeless immigrants, a group that was prevented from receiving payment of 1, 200 dollars awarded earlier this year. While children under 17 years that have been declared as dependents will receive the same payment of 900 dollars than adults, compared to 500 of the first round.
However, the new law of Financial aid imposed some differences in income per year that are taken into account to calculate who qualifies for the check, which will prevent middle class families from benefiting , estimates an analysis of the Tax Foundation .
In general, almost everyone with the lowest incomes in the United States will receive a check, but specific groups of dependents have been left out, a report from CBS News indicates. Next the complete list.
Son of 17 years declared as dependents
The The law grants families $ 600 dollars for each child who qualifies as a dependent according to the definition of the tax code. Unfortunately, for the standard, those adolescents who have not yet met the 17 years.
Dependent adults, such as young students
No dependent adult, older than 17 years, qualifies for the check. This includes college students , whom parents often declare as dependents, as well as older people with disabilities.
Single people earning more than $ 75, 000 dollars per year
The law states that those who earn more from $ 75, 000 dollars per year, for singles, or $ 150, 000, for married couples, will receive less than $ 600 dollars, in proportion to their income. Every $ 100 dollars they earn above Those thresholds are $ 5 less on the check.
With the first check, of 1, 200 dollars, as the total amount was higher, more people were able to receive some help with this calculation.
Americans earning up to $ 99, 000 dollars a year thus qualified to receive some amount. This will not happen in the second round: single people who earn more than $ 87, 000 per year will not receive any payment.
Married couples earning more than $ 174, 000 Dollars
The same calculation as in the previous item applies to married couples. In the first round, the pairs that won up to $ 198 ,000 Dollars a year they received a check. Now, only those who earn up to $ 174 will do it, 000.
