有资格享受冠状病毒经济刺激计划的美国人已经开始看到付款到达他们的账户。美国财政部的一次性付款似乎有助于缓解冠状病毒爆发导致的巨大经济衰退带来的压力。
移动银行初创公司Current的首席执行官斯图尔特索普(Stuart Sopp)告诉记者《华尔街日报》冠状病毒救援和经济安全法案的“第一波”付款已经开始出现在他们客户的账户上。
Sopp表示,Current的数据显示,目前约有40%的存款是1200美元,尽管有些高达4700美元,具体取决于家庭细节和其他因素。
如果收入低于75,000美元,符合条件的人至少可获得1,200美元。收入高达150,000美元的已婚夫妇可以获得2,400美元的共同付款,与17岁以下儿童生活在一起的夫妇还可以获得高达500美元的额外付款。
周五,Current表示,他们已经收到了第一笔政府刺激支出,并将立即将这些支出转给客户。
该公司在一份声明中表示:“在接下来的几周和几个月里,我们将继续在收到刺激交易后立即将它们记入所有账户的贷方,因此请继续在应用程序中检查您的账户余额,并了解您是否尚未被记入贷方,这是因为我们尚未收到联邦政府的付款。”。
人们还透露,他们已经在社交媒体上收到了政府的付款。
美国国内税收署此前曾表示将在下周初到达对于那些提交了2018年和2019年税务报告并授权直接借记的人。其他人,包括那些没有提交申报表或没有领取社会保障的人,可能要等几个星期甚至几个月才能拿到钱。
国税局已经推出了一个在线工具来帮助那些通常不需要申报纳税的人,以帮助他们登记细节来获得付款。
该功能可在美国国税局网站“非申报者:在此输入支付信息”下获得
“没有申报义务的人可以使用这个工具给我们提供基本信息,这样他们就可以尽快收到他们的经济影响付款,”国税局局长查克·雷蒂格说。
“国税局和自由文件联盟一直在夜以继日地工作交付这个新工具去帮助人们。"2015年8月8日,DC首都华盛顿,美国国税局外的一个标志。

STIMULUS CHECKS FOR UP TO $4,700 BEGIN ARRIVING IN BANK ACCOUNTS
A mericans eligible for the coronavirus economic stimulus package have started seeing payments arrive in their accounts. The one-time payment from the U.S. Treasury looks to help ease the pressure from the huge economic downturn as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.
Stuart Sopp, chief executive officer of mobile banking startup Current, told The Wall Street Journal that "a bunch of the first wave" of payments from the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act have started to appear in their customer's accounts.
Sopp said Current's data indicates that around 40 percent of the deposits so far were for $1,200, although some are as high as $4,700 depending on household specifics and other factors.
Those eligible for the payments received a minimum of $1,200 if they earn less than $75,000. Married couples filing jointly who earn up to $150,000 can receive a joint payment of $2,400, with additional payments of up to $500 available to those who live with children under the age of 17.
On Friday, Current said they had received the first government stimulus payments and will be passing them over to their customers immediately.
"We will continue to credit all accounts with stimulus transactions immediately as soon as we receive them over the coming weeks and months, so please continue to check your account balance in the app and know if you have not yet been credited, it is because we have not yet received your payment from the federal government," the company said in a statement.
People have also revealed that they have received their payment from the government on social media.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) previously said payments will arrive by the start of next week for those who had filed their tax reports for 2018 and 2019 and authorized direct debit. Others, including those who have not filed their returns or receive Social Security, may have to wait weeks or even months for their payment.
The IRS has launched an online tool to assist those who do not normally have to file tax returns in order to help them register details to receive the payments.
The feature is available on the IRS website under "Non-filers: Enter Payment Info Here."
"People who don't have a return filing obligation can use this tool to give us basic information so they can receive their Economic Impact Payments as soon as possible," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig.
"The IRS and Free File Alliance have been working around the clock to deliver this new tool to help people."
