The United States has approved a $2 trillion economic rescue plan to provide financial help to Americans during the global coronavirus (COVID-19) health and economic pandemic. The stimulus checks will be up to $1,200 per adult and $500 per child for qualified individuals, based on income level, and are being mailed or direct deposited in April. Immigrants with valid Social Security numbers and people who qualify as “resident aliens” will receive a stimulus check. The bill provides economic stimulus checks for individuals whose household falls below the $75,000 income threshold.
Chicago immigration attorney Mario Godoy explained,
“If you are a U.S. citizen and have a Social Security number but on your tax return you have claimed a spouse or child who is undocumented and does not have a social security number, no one in your household will get a stimulus check.”
