I just don't get it .....

[Sandpebble]

I still don’t get it …

Three weeks from the promise of instant help I must confess with all honesty…I don’t really need it. I’m of course talking about the economic stimulus checks we’ve all been offered …..

However, if my anti socialist government is happy giving $Billions to farmers to bail them out and $Billions to bail out airlines and other corporations then I’m willing to accept my paltry $1200 stimulus check in order to get the economy back on track . Mind you, I’m not happy when a government offers us an “economic stimulus” check as it only means we are in deep xxxx and back on track ain’t happening when the twelve hundred is gone.

Like millions of other people I have accessed the “Get My Payment” portal of the IRS daily for over a week… only to be informed my eligibility could not be ascertained with the information I provided.

Today however, it proclaimed for the first time that I am indeed eligible for this benefit. It provided a link to input my banking information for direct deposit which coincidentally was the same info the IRS used to accept my owed tax payment . I diligently typed in all the required banking info plus the requested info from my 2019 Tax Return that the IRS also used to accept my tax “payment” .

I’m informed that “The information I have provided does not match the information on file” ….….

for Gods sake.... put the damn gators back in the swamp

Frustration at the less than perfect function of a government entity is understandable. I started trying to apply for the stimulus payment early on in the process. Very pleased that last night I was able to access the site, get the information required uploaded and successfully have the payment sent to my account. Would encourage you to try again. Many have found it necessary to try to upload information to the site repeatedly. Good luck. Sincerely. bruce.

Then why subject yourself to the ordeal of trying to get it? Not that you should have to endure such punishment to receive what you're entitled to, but it's the consequence of giving federal bureaucrats jobs for life--what's their incentive to "do a better job"? And neither they nor most state gov't workers, nor teachers, have to worry about waiting hours in line at food banks--they're enjoying paid vacations!

Still trying to figure out where to look for it to appear. Will give money to the food pantry, and the rest to servers at the restaurants and coffee shops.

Same here. I was told since I have filed my Federal Income tax forms and did it electronically our check came through without any delay.
