Many people between the ages of 17 and 24 have become aware they will not receive a stimulus check this spring. There are a few explanations as to why. The most likely reason is many people in this age group are claimed as dependents. Persons claimed as dependents for the 2019 Tax Year are not eligible for the Economic Impact Payment commonly referred to as the “Stimulus Check.”
The Small Business Association (SBA) has announced the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is temporarily out of funds. Applications already approved by the SBA will still receive funds, and those submitted to the SBA website by their lender will still be processed. Lenders are signaling to clients they should continue to submit applications to be put in a “queue” for future processing. There is hope Congress will provide additional funds to this program in the coming weeks.
