Our Money

Submitted by ub on

It is our money and our lives that are on the line here. President Donald Trump’s name will be printed on the stimulus checks that the IRS is eventually going to be sending to tens of millions of Americans around the United States of America, in an apparent unpresidential and unprecedented PR scam.

Donald J. Trump is delaying many of your $1200 checks and allowing his signature to be printed on them. While Americans are in crisis, this must be a really cruel political stunt from a petulant man who’s failing our families.

US taxpayer money is being distributed as stimulus funds with Trump‘s name on it. When you actually will get your money varies.

The first group would include people who have already given their bank account information to the IRS for the direct deposit of tax refunds on 2018 or 2019 tax returns. Social Security recipients who filed tax returns that included direct deposit information will be included.

The second group of money could arrive the week of April 20 for those who receive Social Security benefits via direct deposit but may not make enough money to file a federal income tax return in 2018 or 2019.

Unfortunately, the third group will need to wait if the IRS does not have your direct deposit information. Those checks may arrive in late April or May.

The paper checks will go out to families with the lowest incomes who make less than $10,000 a year and lack direct deposit information with the IRS.

These so-called lucky recipients who will find Trump’s name on their checks, but should keep in mind that it is not his money, but yours. The funds come from our tax dollars and were approved by Congress.
