so if you're not eligible for unemployment and you have no earnings, what do you live on?
Bare minimum. For the past couple years, rainy day fund. Now that the thunderstorm fund is gone and is still storming, from my permanent rainy day fund, that will go to zero when I need it in couple decades from now.
Our showed up this morning. Oddly enough it is dated Monday, though I didn’t see it posted on Monday. In any case it has arrived with the correct amount anticipated.
We filed jointly, and owed in 2018. We have not filed 2019 taxes yet. We used TurboTax.

sounds like you should have been looking for a job not more government money

It may be difficult for you to comprehend but just because one has no earnings, doesn't mean the effort to obtain one wasn't there. It also doesn't mean one is looking for government handout. Thus the long rainy day fund.
Definitely not looking for a handout from government but most of stimulus money is going to big corps from this stimulus bill, and if the government is giving these big corps a handout then I rather have most of it come back to taxpayers, is all I'm saying about the stimulus check.

The stimulus money going to businesses isn't going to big corps, it's going to SMBs for the PPP program. Airlines got loans, not handouts.
Stimulus money was not meant to deal with social safety net issues, which is more of what you're talking about. That's why no one had to prove they were disadvantaged by the pandemic in order to receive it. It was ll bout just getting money out to stir demand for products and services.
The social safety net was addressed, in part by the enhanced unemployment benefits, moratorium of evictions, moratorium on foreclosures. The job market was about as good as it gets the last couple of years so it seemed reasonable to focus the efforts there, at least to start.
Ours arrived by mail even though we have SS direct deposited.
I feel like I am one of the very few who hasn't gotten anything, including a date on the site. Today has not been a very good day for me overall and the daily routine disappointments just didn't help. They have had my information since 4/24. We also have our SS direct deposited and filed our 2019 taxes on 4/24 and had the refund a week later. No rhyme nor reason as to how they are doing this. We, as a couple, are well under the cut-off for a single person, so on the low end of the range when they send checks.
So glad you got yours as I know you had been having problems with the site.
I'm happy to report that my paper stimulus check WAS forwarded by USPS to my temporary address and I finally have it in my paws. There was much speculation that they would not forward it, and I did not expect to get it.
