    Stimulus Check

    It appears our stimulus check is "pending" deposit into our account. I guess we were part of the first round.

    Good! Don't hoard but spend it with your capable wisdom to do what the hopes of the bipartisan bill truly are - stimulate the economy by keeping the velocity of money flowing to benefit you and your community.

    Since happy lost her job I am sure it will go to bills. I like that some people are donating to food banks because they are hit hard. Spending it to just spend it is a waste.

    My company has had layoffs and may have more, or hours cuts, or increases in benefits costs. I am not going to go spend my stimulus when I receive it. That would be irresponsible because I support myself and my disabled son on a single, non-professional income below the national median in a high cost of living state. My son does not receive SSI either, whole other story.

    As I’m laid off, it will go towards bills or savings.

    i think food banks are a good thing too, if thats your thing. It goes to the needy and also gets that money into circulation fast.

    Stimulating the economy will be rather hard, when so much is closed. I expect that a lot of those who receive it, will only use it for groceries or current bills.

    You are correct. Besides, paying my bills also puts the money in the hands of companies that employ people and provide services. I DO feel as if I am still contributing to the overall economy.

    IF I get some *extra*, I still hope to get a new shed to replace the one that is falling down. We'll see how things play out.

    Good luck to everyone else as well.

    I wonder how they decided who to put first. The IRS payment tracker is not up yet. Although I used direct deposit in both 2018 and 2019 I have no idea when I will get my payment, and the IRS website says don't call to ask.

    I have no clue! I only saw the pending deposit because I was going into my account to check my unemployment deposit and see if I received the extra $600 unemployment (have not received yet).
