In reply to Cindy Stoneouse. Hi Cindy, the IRS stated back on March 30th that it's website would build a portal where people can update their information “in the coming weeks.” That's all we know for now, but as soon as something is updated, I will post it here.

The IRS does not have bank routing numbers for us since we always have had to pay more in one the Federal level. We do, however, get a small state return which is direct deposited. Will we get a check by mail? If so, timelines on that?

In reply to Christy Prinz. Hi Christy, if you haven't filed and haven't received any benefits from disability of SSI yet in the past, then there you most likely will not be receiving anything. However, if your husband is receiving anything via disability benefits, then you can expect to see the $1,200 go into the same account your husband receives for his disability assistance.

In reply to Susan. Whatever the IRS has on file for you for direct deposit will be how you receive the CARES Act rebate Susan :)

In reply to Amy. Good news Amy! This is NOT taxable income and you will NOT have to pay any of it back.

In reply to Judi Street. Hi Judi, It sounds like even if you do owe back child support (or even back taxes for that matter) that you would still be receiving the $1,200 from the CARES Act.

In reply to Amy Maestas. Hi Amy, if you claimed your daughter as a dependent on your last filing, then she will not be receiving money from the CARES Act. Basically, anyone who is claimed as someone else's dependent will not be getting assistance. Sorry about that :(

Hi Chris,
What if someone owes back child support? Will they get the $1200 or would it go to the other parent?
