The title fades to show a Certified Deaf Interpreter wearing a light grey shirt and black/clear glasses. He signs, “Do you qualify for the government stimulus payment if you work? How do you know if you qualify for stimulus payment? First, you must meet three requirements: you are a U.S. citizen or have a green card, a Social Security Number (SSN), and not claimed as dependent on someone else’s tax return. If you meet all of these then you can determine the stimulus payment you will receive.” White text appears: REQUIREMENTS, -U.S. CITIZEN OR GREEN CARD, -SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, -NOT A DEPENDENT.

The payments will be sent automatically to you by the IRS.” “What happens if you are single and your income is less than $12,200, you will receive $1,200.
