If you are married and filed jointly, then you would get it all at once. If you are married and filed single, then the first $600 will come to the soc ending in 46, and the next $600 should come to the soc ending in 97.

Because the 97 soc is higher than the 46, it probably won't be for another week or 2 at least. I am guessing you filed "Married filing single"

I was under the impression you would get $1200 if you were married, but apparently not. It depends on what your total income and taxes are and they go by that.

If you filled jointly than you'll only be getting that $600. I'm guessing you didn't make as much to make the $1200. I only got $300 for myself and my girl got $300 so don't feel bad.

its based on your "tax burden" if you had an extremely low tax burden they cut it down and if your AGI for the year was over 160,000 for a married file jointly (I think thats the right amount ) they phased down the amount you will recive hope it helps

Tax burden is a big one. Mine is maxed out with a relatively low income, topped with the fact that I'm a student.

I know, I think people who make less money should get more back since they don't have a lot of money to spend.
