My family won't be getting a check either. But I have steady employment and our company is considered critical so we aren't shut down. I have been working from home for the last 4 weeks and am glad because I work in downtown Seattle. All that being said, if I was to get a check my portion would go toward a new Henry carbine steel in 327. Please stay safe everyone.

Seattle, was there in '83. Two friends and I took a month long walk about and spent a week each, on Rainier, in Yellowstone, in the 'Bob, Tetons. In Settle the REI store was my favorite place. The last few things wanted for the Mt Rainier 5 day class were procured at REI.

SPOUSE AND I EXPECT TO GET SOME BUT NOT ALL OF THE $2,400, WHATEVER WE GET IT WILL JUST GO INTO CASH RESERVES. THIS CV CRISIS IS REDUCING AND/OR DEFERRING MY NORMAL INCOME STREAMS SO I AM JUST GOING TO SPEND LESS ON GUNS AND GUN STUFF.

Since I'll owe federal taxes and the due date has been extended past the supposed check date, I'll simply send it back to cover the bill.

Probably won't check a check either. Wife definitely won't, she's working more than usual.

My wife has worked from home for a year now, so no change for her.
My plant manufacturers animal feed and we are considered essential. We will work as long as we can procure ingredients.

I'm retired and live alone, My daughter is working in telecommunications and allowed to work from her home during this time, Don't know if they'll send me a check, but if they do some will go to a worthy cause (non-political). I already have too many guns, would like a few more, but now is not the time. I'm over 70 and if the virus got me it would be a nightmare for my daughter taking care of my estate.

I am a fleet mechanic with the Ohio DOT and considered essential personnel. I consider myself Blessed to still be working. I will put my check in savings for a rainy day, as there are storms ahead. I am curious to see how much money the US governent can print before we completely destroy our economy. How many rounds of checks will it take to make it all better? Any thoughts?

Do retired people qualify for a check?

Read an article that stated this "Bail Out" will add approximately $17K debt per American citizen (based upon 350 million citizens). The total was almost $70K per citizen.
That is if the amount of debt is accurate, instead of understated.

I am disabled. Won't be getting a check. Have been saving my money for years. I worry about my girlfriend. She does work for a farm equipment service company. She is considered essential. Problem is she hAs lung cancer. Lives paycheck to paycheck. Today she is leaving her work today as it isn't worth the risk to her. This check will be pennies from Heaven for her.

Hopefully this "crisis" will blow over soon & we can all return to some form of normalcy,
