I feel bad for the people who are rightfully entitled to that cheque but it is very true that '  "No law was ever written that doesn't find someone falling through the cracks," said Ira Mehlman'

I have been going through the immigration process since last June but was well aware if I filed taxes using an IDIN number that my husband would get shafted on his stimulus cheque. For that reason, he filed seperately and we are waiting until I have a SSN to amend those taxes. Hopefully, alot of people thought ahead and did the same.

I personally think this "stimulus" is a crock. The IRS spent $41.8 million just to send notices to people to expect the payment. So what did it cost to print these checks for those who don't have electronic deposit? How much will be spent getting them delivered? Will people spend it at Walmart or Target or Sears to stimulate the economy? Yeah right...it'll go to pay bills or plopped into savings account. Mine will go to new tires for my vehicle, I guess that'll help stimulate the tire industry? lol!

What about the people who filed for Chapter 13 (reorganization) where they have to hand over any "extra" disposable income? Will they get the check, or will it go the Trustee? What about people living abroad who file/pay taxes but they don't live here to spend their money? Will they get one?
