Ask Terry Questions Stimulus check not received

Stimulus check not received

By Terry Savage on May 17, 2020 | Wild Card

My wife has a green card and social security card. I am a disable veteran and i dont have enough income from social security to taxes on. I received my stimulus check but my wife did not receive her check. She is in the system by having a social security card and why she has not got her stimulus check?

Terry Says

Does she have a SOCIAL SECURITY number, or an ITIN? If the latter, she will not receive a stimulus check under the law. Sorry about that.
But if she does have a valid SS number, then she can expect to receive her check the same way she receives her Social Security retirement benefits.
If she is not yet collecting benefits from Social Security and if you did not file a joint return, she should register here:
