Israeli Americans are eligible for stimulus checks tax attorney tells Post. Each person seeking the relief must have a US social security number, Silver noted, and the deadline for the US to provide the money is December 31, 2020.

Notably, the new bill includes stimulus checks of up to $1200 to every American and an additional $500 for a child. According to Monte Silver, a US tax attorney living in Israel, American citizens and Green Card holders living abroad, including Israel, are eligible to receive monetary relief as well if they have social security number and they filed taxes for 2018 or 2019.

The fact that Americans overseas receive relief is significant,” said an Israeli tax attorney. “Over the last two years, we have fought hard for smaller victories regarding the Transition and GILTI taxes. Prior versions of the Corona law left Americans overseas without relief. But as a result of last-minute advocacy, Congress changed the wording and expanded the relief to us too.”

The original bill forbade money from flowing to outside of the country, or going to green card holders. But there are tens of thousands of dual Israeli-American citizens, and we must support them. Also of note: the final bill includes $60 million for Jewish special interest groups like the ADL, and others. This bill is a cash grab for everyone, and your grandchildren will be the ones who are forced to pay on this deficit.

Of course it's a money grab. This is government. And we're all gonna grab as much as we can. BTW; don't worry about the grand kids having to pay the debt. We don' need to pay pay no stinkin' debt.
 
Speaking as an American who lives overseas, no, I don't think so as I don't pay taxes unless I make over 150k a year, and if I did I certainly wouldn't need it.

The OP opposes this though just because he's a raging anti-semite, which is why he made it specifically about Jews and not just in general.

America gives money to all sorts of people overseas. Obama even gave Iranian terrorists more than 1-1/2 billion dollars in cash because the lying morons convinced him they had not stolen the money in the first place and needed it now to build baby milk plants. What a bunch of gullible and deceitful buffoons come together in stupid agreement from time to time.

It was Iran's money the US confiscated in 1979.

The US froze Iran's money in 1979 and the thieves who took illegal and immoral control of the country convinced Obama to bypass the courts that were still debating the ownership of the money and give them the money that was never theirs to begin with. Obama should have waited just a few months longer because the SCOTUS did rule that the money did not belong to the terrorists but did belong to the victims of terrorists.

If they are paying US income taxes then yes they should get it, if not then no, real simple.

So I 'made it all about Jews', then why are jews the only people talked about in the article? Maybe that's all they cared about too.

Well gosh golly, what a wacky coincidence that a substantial number of your rage threads are centered around Jews. Totally random right.

Your article is from the Jerusalem Post. You're a big fan and avid reader, right?

I'm certainly not looking to 'grab as much as I can', and I hope that's not the attitude of my fellow Americans. $1200 doesn't cover half of my rent for one month. It's not going to console the parents who lost their 17 year old son to coronavirus in Lancaster either. I'm amazed in this time of turmoil, that so many people are buoyed by $1200.

That's not the point. The JPost didn't give a flying you know about what you're going to get in Germany, or what a family in Mexico might get,, because they simply don't care about either.

I'm the only one on this entire forum who posts these kinds of stories. I realize that you and most people here prefer to use the forum to spout nonsense towards people of the opposing political party, and to pretend that your preferred party is better. That bores me immensely.

The requirements are a social security number, which they sell on Taobao, and that's it. Nothing about paying taxes was ever mentioned.

You made it all about Jews by picking an article from a paper that has (oh what a surprise) Israelis in its primary interest, seeing how it's in the only Jewish state of the world.

And, as one has become accustomed to, accompanied it by one of your usual lies. Here in claiming that the article speaks exclusively of Jews.

Maybe you couldn't find a fascist-worshiping and Jew-hating source fast enough?

I've never put much stock in the idea that because America is dysfunctional and hemorrhaging money due to lobbyists, that we should look the other way.
 
Millions of us work under the table, been that way since the income tax was created. They need money just as badly as everyone else. If you limit it to tax payers, what exactly are they supposed to do now that they also have no income? Its like going through a soup line and qualifying each person before letting them get a bowl of soup.
