Stimulus Question

[zrob_rivals105618]

So one of the guys who works for me received a stimulus card in the mail and I activated it for him but there is no money on it, the balance is zero. He doesn't speak much English and I'm trying to help him but I seriously cannot find out what to do. I've spent waaaaaaay too much time on this already so if anyone has any suggestions other than looking at more IRS FAQ's I would be the most grateful man in the world.

Could try the customer service ( (800) 240-8100 ) and have them recheck their system. Could be that the card was sent before the funds were transferred to that account.

Thanks, I think I got it figured out. His card hasn't actually come yet and the pre-paid card he got today is either some kind of fraud or they just want people without bank accounts to put their money on the card. The thing that got me was when I called to activate the card the 1st 5 minutes of the automated call was saying it WAS for the stimulus. Anyways... I don't know why he doesn't have the pre-paid stimulus card when it was sent on the 6th but it will be coming from a different company. What a pain in the a$$.

Thanks again

When I was younger the only way to check my stimulus package was to turn to the dirty channels. They were scrambled, but every now and then you could make out a boob.

My head used to hurt when I'd try to out blink the squiggly lines.

I was the fastest blinker by age 15.

I had to bury my Penthouse, Hustler, Club and Playboys in my gym bag in my closet to hide from my mom. Was a struggle just to get them out to rub one out. #real80sproblems

You got your hands on a Hustler. That was like gold at my school. Best we could get were Playboys.

Below is a link to a Money article that is a very good summary of round 2 for the Economic Impact Payment (EIP) prepaid card.

[HUSKERFAN66]

Anyone who doesn't speak English is ineligible Period! He will be getting his next letter soon.

Wait until tomorrow

Not all citizens speak great English. My wife moved to our country when she was an adolescent. Her dad is fluent in English, but her mom struggles quite a bit. My mother in law is as every bit as American as you or I.

The United States of America has no official language.

I suggest trying a strong laxative, that usually provides good stimulus. Oops, sorry I misunderstood the question so you can ignore that. Laughing

ZRob, could you provide the name of the company that issued the card to your employee? It should be on the back of the card, I assume. As you found out, this card is not actually the stimulus money and I would caution against the employee using it. While not as likely to be a scam it will likely have a lot of high fees for various things when the card is used.

Cheri was another good one. We kept a stash buried in the tree mulch behind a daycare center.

The first time I got caught with a porno mag I was 8. Found it outside at a local park and we stashed it under a jungle gym. I tried to tell my mom it was the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. I think the women with white mustaches ruined that alibi.
