Coronavirus stimulus checks: IRS can't keep $100 million in payments from incarcerated Americans, judge rules
Incarcerated Americans — who were initially deemed ineligible for coronavirus stimulus checks — will now be able to collect them after a ruling from the U.S. District Court Northern District of California.
As a result of the ruling, at least 84,000 stimulus payments to incarcerated individuals — worth around $100 million — will not have to be returned as previously stated in guidance from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
“Incarcerated persons who otherwise qualify for an advance refund are not excluded as an ‘eligible individual,’” Judge Phyllis Hamilton wrote in the ruling. “The IRS’s decision to exclude incarcerated persons from advance refund payments is likely contrary to law.”

Under the CARES Act, around 160 million Americans received a stimulus payment of up to $1,200, plus $500 per dependent. The initial legislation — which passed in March — didn’t specify whether people in jail or prison would be ineligible for the payments but guidance issued by the IRS in May said that “a payment made to someone who is incarcerated should be returned to the IRS.”
“The country is suffering during this pandemic and economic crisis, and incarcerated people and the families they rely on for support are no exception,” said Yaman Salahi, a partner at Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, representing the Plaintiffs and Class. “Judge Hamilton’s order ensures that incarcerated people will receive the sorely needed economic assistance that Congress allocated.”

The IRS is said to have worked with federal and state prisons to return the stimulus payments made to incarcerated individuals, according to a report by a government watchdog. It’s unclear how many people in total will qualify for the stimulus checks after the ruling but the lawsuit alleges that 1.4 million have been affected by the IRS’s guidance.
If you don’t file taxes and you haven’t received a stimulus check, you can submit your information through the IRS Non-Filers Tool. The deadline for this was extended by the IRS to November 21. Americans with income below $12,200 and who haven’t filed a tax return for 2018 and 2019 can use the tool to add basic personal information in order to receive the payment.

Bro I lost my job back in late July. I was awarded my unemployment but I made 3 times that amount. Things are starting to get real. I've been on 7 interviews and no one wants to pay close to what I was making. The job market is so saturated with people willing to work for nickels its making Opportunities that would normally be easy for me incredibly difficult.
Hopefully something happens soon I dont want to dig into my 401K or cash out my stocks. However Savings is starting to run low tho. I hope you get something soon too bro.
Sorry for you job loss. You ain’t said nothing crazy.
Well, the bitch in the white house said it is willing to do a standalone for that now it's up to the bitch who was willing to do one for the corporations(airlines) to accept to give direct payments to the people.
Let's see how a person justifies not doing a direct standalone for the people just days after saying they'd do one for corporations. At least call the bluff of the bitch in the white house.
Should be an interesting day because politically Pelosi ain't got to respond. She beat Trump. She only does if she cares about people who need that direct payment to survive.
I just applied now I am doing the first part as I am typing this hopefully I get to picking my shifts Thank you

Yeah unemployment from what I heard will be no where close to what I use to make, but fuck it I'm not gonna stay home and wait on the government I got to grind not going back to a shelter again.
I hope things get better for you, my wife was in the same boat. Luckily she found something, but... Not what she was making. We dont have kids so we didn't get down to panic mode, but it was getting kinda close.
Goddammit Trump.I can vouch for that, lost my job the first week of march applied for Amazon a week later even thou i did not start till the end of June. They still were paying me until i started which i was thinking at the time would mess with my Unemployment back pay but it still came thru. Last i heard they are giving out 500 dollar for referrals also.......Forgive the gramma tired just getting off....
Yet there are people still claiming to be undecided voters and people still unwilling to vote.Damn. Don’t get no realer than this. This magga will sacrifice the world for his own satisfaction
That's the key to stay out of poverty, not having kids.
Fuck the airline industry! If everyone can’t eat something then nobody eats.
Let's see what Pelosi's next move is going to be.
Fuck that
The religion of politics.
No place for the non-believers, eh?
So, the orangeman says he will sign a bill to give people the $1200 and you say f dat?? I am sure there are a few people that would disagree with your stance.
So, fuck everybody else? The millions out of work? All of the other industries that are not airline related?
"I'm the President now, but if you re-elect me, then I'll pass it" WTF?
Come on, Tito. Do better. There aren't two Americas and we should never allow a circumstance where that happens. Everyone deserves help; especially if they paid into the system. Trumps offer is another skinny bill. You want some desperate, out-of-work person running around contemplating on whether or not they are going to knock your wife in the head and steal her purse or rob your children or even your parents? Actions (or lack thereof) have repercussions.
This is all political theater anyway. Neither of them are going to do anything: Pelosi won't accept anything less than what she wants to, Mnuchin and McConnell aren't going to up their offer and Trump is just looking to play "gotcha" so he can fingerpoint. They are all waiting to see who gets re-elected. Its a nightmare for the American public and shows just how worthless these politicians are.
I agree, a few.So, the orangeman says he will sign a bill to give people the $1200 and you say f dat?? I am sure there are a few people that would disagree with your stance.
i dont know what these fools doing..but i know what im gonna be doing if things keep up like this..
ante' up ....and only on cacs
ante' up ....and only on cacs
These numbers from this afternoon.
lol, there is NO new deal. What is the difference between today and yesterday?
Pelosi will not agree to piecemeal deals.

Pelosi and top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer on Thursday rejected the idea of passing a temporary extension of expanded unemployment benefits separate from a larger coronavirus relief package, telling reporters they do not want to pass measures piecemeal.

yep i wished i would have known that years ago.
As I saud previously...Trump and the Republicans have shown you what their priorities are.
"Adding to the confusion, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Wednesday that he and Mnuchin were considering a slimmed-down stimulus aimed at sending out more direct checks to Americans along with small business and airline aid.
But top White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on CNBC on Wednesday that he saw a “low probability” that anything could get done and that upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings in the Senate would make it more difficult.
“We’ve only got four weeks to the election and we have a justice of the Supreme Court to get passed,” Kudlow said. “It’s too close to the election — not enough time to get stuff done at this stage in the game.”

So never have kids?
I'm asking because I want kids someday soon. It ain't a "right way" to do it?
