$1200 stimulus check got direct-deposited today. Woohoo!

I'll be darned. I thought they would be imaginary checks.

Nice. Mine still is imaginary.

Lol mine too but Shado could use it more than I do it if good he got good first. Makes me wonder if they are delivering them based off of your state of residence, with the hardest hot distress getting paid first..
No wait that would make sense and therefore could not be done.

Nope, making sense requires competence and the toadies / lackies / ass-kissers permeating the current government are woefully incapable of reason. I attribute getting mine to sheer luck. Either that or because I live in state where the governor is a prime ass-kisser of the head clown, so we're getting preferential treatment ... while the blue states are getting fucked. Arizona used to be red, now it's sorta purplish.

Still red, just not as important in the upcoming elections

Playing politics with the health and livelihoods of a few hundred million Americans. So much for the oaths of office these degenerates took. It's public service, and duty to the state or nation, not to business interests.

Sorry. I get really pissed off when I think of the thousands of people that have died that might not have, and the thousands more that will, and shouldn't. [/soapbox]

I thought they said you would get it faster if your 2019 taxes were done and the IRS had your direct deposit info on file?

They did, but I haven't gotten mine. If I don't get it by tomorrow, I'm gonna go to their website and fill out the form.

Got mine today.

Congrats!

Thanks. It is always nice when the government decided that you need your own money more than they do. Tax break!!
I hope everyone else gets their soon also. I know a lot of people could really use the help right now

I believe @ShadoWarrior is in Florida with me, if I remember correctly. But as I got out of work today I heard on the radio that the checks were being issued to lowest income and earliest filers this year first.

Yeah, we're on opposite coasts of Flori-duh, if memory serves.

one more reason paper checks could be delayed: In unprecedented move, Treasury orders Trump’s name printed on stimulus checks

God mine. It's either a month and a half of rent, or a new desktop, depending on how soon I can land a job.

Yes we are. I went to Jr. & High School on Merritt Island.

My check showed up last night and mine is paying for the month & a half of rent, phone bill and cable bill. While I like the idea of a new desktop, and I am still working, hours have been cut down enough that paychecks are a bit lower than normal.

I went to Coquina Elementary, Jackson Junior High (now called Jackson Middle School), and Titusville High during the Apollo program years of 1968-1976.

For the past two years, until the start of March, I lived in Cocoa. Now I live in Cape Canaveral.

You've got me by a few years then. I was born in Cape Canaveral Hospital in '72

86... I feel old... Oh wait that is my kids jumping on me.

I just heard from my auto insurance, they are sending me a refund. Is that happening everywhere?

I'm a baby here, lol.

Move is not evening s refund but giving me a discount for a few months.

I'm with GEICO and ...

email dated 4/9 wrote:As part of GEICO's ongoing efforts to assist customers during this unprecedented time, we are announcing The GEICO Giveback which provides a 15 percent credit to all auto and motorcycle customers as policies come up for renewal, between April 8, 2020 and October 7, 2020. This credit will also apply to any new policies purchased during this period as part of our commitment to protecting the wellbeing of our customers.

This is a drop in the bucket compared to the windfall that all of the insurance companies are raking in. With people driving a LOT less they're not paying out anywhere near what they normally would to cover accidents. The discount could be 40-50% and they'd still be making a hefty profit.

Yeah, I'm getting 20% for 3 months from AAA
