I'm questioning logic now. Employed people were still employed. Unemployed people were already getting that $600 a week bonus. I took the nice $1200 gift, but why did I get it?

if you have an android phone say, "Ok, google define stimulus"
if you have an iphone say, "Siri, define stimulus"
if you have an alexa, say, "Alexa, define stimulus"
if you're poor, type into your search bar, "define stimulus"

The stimulus was put together over a weekend, basically. A lot of people who were still employed were suddenly underemployed. Also, cost of living went up in most of the US, with food and household goods raising in price.

Also, there was an income cap on the stimulus. I didn't get any.

if we ignore the weeks of bickering over which corporations to give kickbacks to first, sure. just a weekend.

Yeah, I know. My sister got screwed over, too. I was over the income cap, so she's not in a pinch, though.

Yeah, I'm just saying it wasn't very well crafted for a lot of people. A lot of folks on disability were ignored, gig workers, college students, etc.

Because some like myself had reduced work hours but lives in a state that does not offer unemployment for such a reason.

How did they "screw you over"?

You don't file taxes and your parents are the beneficiary of that. If anything your parents screwed you over but I'm gonna go ahead and assume they probably float your expenses by well over $1200 a year, so sit down kiddo

Also a lot of employed people had cut salaries or hours.

TC needed stimulus for his brain as a child and clearly never got it.

You still file taxes if you're a dependent. Reliant on income, of course.

How old are you? This is common sense. Basic shit you learn in middle school.

It was intended for those who still had a job to spend it on anything you wanted to keep the economy going. Let's take beds as the example in this case. Since the virus thing happened not many beds were being sold in order to prevent stores from closing down and people getting laid off you were suppose to buy a bed to keep the economy going as normal as possible. Not specifically a bed but stuff like that in general.

I didn't......>_>

Actually my mom might have filed them for me back then. Yet another benefit to being a dependent.

But at the end of the day your parents more than likely saved much more money than $1200 by claiming you. If you're getting the raw end of the deal here it's from your parents, not uncle sam

Then your parents are screwing you, you should end that sooner rather than later.

I received a stimulus check and my hours are not reduced, in fact I had more hours added.

If you're a college student it's likely you didn't make enough to need to file. I only file for my sister because she was going to get a return.
