It will not work for you.

"Do not use this application if you receive the benefits below. If you receive these benefits, we already have your information and you will receive $1,200.

• Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits
• Railroad Retirement and Survivor Benefits"

That is exactly the same form we had to use as well. Correct! Do you know approximately how long it takes to receive it after the IRS has accepted it? Thanks

I twittered the irs and csnbc and got reply that kept changing. One showed ineligible. The other showed some recipients who collect ssi or other government pensions that are automatically sent to banks are not showing using the app. So it's now just a wait and see thing. 

I would take that with a grain of salt because apparently NBC and CBS posted some news stories about it that were totally untrue.

I get my US SS deposited into my local Bangkok Bank account through their New York channel. My address for SS is Thai. No received anything yet. Anyone else using BKK bank and Thai address received anything? 

Unless you filed a tax return the have not started doing them based upon your SSA-1099. They are only saying later this month at this time.

I heard it might be a little slow for those of us receiving those type of benefits who don’t file taxes anymore. The last time I filed taxes was in January 2015 shortly after moving back over here again. I’m retired military 100% disabled veteran permanent and totally disabled. My wife receives Social Security from the United States so she doesn’t pay taxes anymore either. The IRS accepted ours 3 days ago so I wonder how it’ll work for ours since my pension comes from the VA and my wife’s pension comes from Social Security? 
 

According to the information put out by the IRS we are eligible and they have already accepted it on Tuesday after I applied for it online. I think I’ll buy a new laptop and a new TV possibly and save whatever is left over and I probably will order them both online from the states. I remember when I used to file taxes once the IRS has accepted it it’s almost guaranteed that you will receive it soon.

A better question is does anyone know how long it takes for non-filers to receive it after the IRS has accepted it? The IRS just accepted mine on Tuesday night. I remember in the past with tax returns it was usually within a week but this is probably different not sure.

Also remember the amount you get changes based on how much you earned last year.  And you may, like me, not be entitled to any money at all.  Or a lot less than the $1,200.

Couple of quotes from the IRS website.

"However, for higher income individuals, the Payment amount is reduced by 5% of the amount that your adjusted gross income exceeds $75,000 ($112,500 for taxpayers filing as head of household or $150,000 for taxpayers filing a joint return), until it is $0."

"The Get My Payment application will return “Status Not Available” if you are not eligible for a payment or we don’t have enough information yet to provide a status."

Thank you I was wondering about that because the IRS just accepted ours 3 days ago on the 14th. How long did it take for you to receive it after the IRS accepted it? I don’t have any doubts at all because they’ve been really clear about who’s eligible pretty much anyone with a US Social Security number is eligible even if you pay no taxes still eligible!! 

I did my e-filing on March 2 and got notice (via the check my refund webpage) that my return was accepted and refund approved on April 13.. so about 6 weeks.  Now that my refund is ready and it will be via DD, that means my stimulus funds can now be done as my bank info is on file now as well.

If you file taxes it should be easy to track on where’s my refund.

That’s only if you make more than $99K a year I believe according to the IRS website.

still need to file a tax return... my income is generated in USA and is taxed there too... seems fair to me. 

 

I think there might be minimums and if you don't earn enough, then you don't need to file. ??

I am happy the poster got his stimulus. I have already noticed that elswhere under stimulus topics on TVF that nonscrupulous non-American posers as Americans are posting pure BS. The only place you need to go is:

 

IRS.GOV 

 

Unless just saying Congratulations which I am saying now!

Obviously, but if you have already received it as in for real received it lol, then you can answer questions like how long it took to receive it after the IRS accepted it.

How long did it take to receive the direct deposit to your account after you received the IRS acceptance email?

Still waiting mine. Never file taxes because SSDI barely meets Thailand income reporting requirements. So no need to file US Taxes. One thing concerned me though. Their new app Get my Payment still doesn't show me. 

Has anyone been able to get positive info from that app? 

Im getting this message too. Anyone who received the 2400 did you claim your wife with a tin #

He used a US address, noted above. I used a Thai home address, and mine has been deposited in my US-based credit union.

If you make over a certain amount, I think like $12,000 USD you have to file. If you don't make that much, you don't file.

[Iron Tongue]

The IRS is distributing monies by going down a list.

 

Apparently, they started with people who filed taxes in 2018 and have provided direct deposit info.  Then 2019 filers.  Then SS recipients, those who never filed but requested payment, and so on.  Those who have no direct deposit info and requested a check will be at the bottom of the list and it may take months.

Me and many other Americans had to take out hefty loans in order to attend university. Not like when it was affordable for my mom, and not like in other countries where it's free. Thus, every year I keep filing to prove to them that with my meager teaching salary, I cannot repay the loan.

[CrunchWrapSupreme]

Ah, here's the boat me and many others are in with the errors. Hopefully there's a fix soon.

there is a LIST of things americans have to file every year.    how about the one where you have to list each bank account and amount .   there are others, depending on ones situation.

the one thing i am thankful for........ we do get full social security benefit (SO FAR) .

The countries that deny/cut benefits from retirees because they now live in another country are

No and you probably won’t get it. What I read is if one spouse uses itin# the whole family is ineligible. I’m in that category as my daughter and myself are both Citizens

Yes, I got that message and then read reasons for why. Last reason was if I am currently on SS I will not get any information on the IRS site. So I can only see a deposit to my NYBB when it transfers.
