I don't get one because I didn't make 3,000.. at least reported. Most of my work in nannying type stuff, and thats not reported.

I know many who had direct deposits are supposed to receive theirs very soon. I imagine the checks will be mailed out shortly afterward.

we had direct deposit and we were suppose to get it on the 2nd but we still havent gotten ours yet and the way they figure it we will only get $600.00.

[tanksmom]

I got mine on the 2nd but it was less than I was told to expect. Our ss# ended with 02. Still dont know why it was less but its all spent just the same...

So as long as you made over $3000 you should get the full amount depending on whether you are married or not and have children.

I love how I seem to rely on YT for all my reliable news!

So if my kids are over 17 but still dependents of mine (in college) there is no rebate for them (either to them or to us) even if they worked and paid taxes, correct? That really doesn't seem fair. The 17 to 22 years olds are the ones that would spend their rebates putting it back into the economy the pay the prez wanted us to, because they don't have a mountain of debt to apply it to yet (hopefully besides student loans).

That is what I want to know will I not receive one because of me being in college. I was not in college when I started working though I was in high school but 18, and the money for my college is from student loans no money out of parents pockets, i am so lost lol

If your parents still claim you on their taxes and you are over 17, you will not receive a rebate, even if you make over $3000.

My boyfriend is in the same situation as you. Hes so mad about it because his parents didn't contribute to his college.

But the parents don't get it either, right? I could understand if the parents still got the $300 because the government assumes they are still supporting the kids for the most part. I had planned on just giving my kids their $300 from my rebate. But now it appears that NO ONE gets $$ for the 17-22 college kids. That doesn't make any sense.

I agree that this isn't fair. My parents aren't helping pay for college at all. I've worked all year, I payed taxes, but yet since my parents can still claim me, I don't get a rebate check. I could really use that money too.

I just assumed that most parents with college kids that worked and/or were paying their own college costs would just hand over the $300 to their kids. I'm helping one and the other has a scholarship, but I had planned on giving it to them. Now I have to tell them that our rebate is half what I thought. I don't know how I missed that stipulation! Ugh!!

Right the parents don't get it either. I personally think that teens and young adults would spend more of this money than older people. Does paying bills classify as "stimulating the economy." Thats what my mom is doing with hers. Lol.
