unperson i think you're going to have to go to some website treasury is launching on wednesday (according to mnuchin at the trump campaign coronavirus event earlier). he said that everyone who was going to receive it via direct deposit would get it by wednesday, and that everyone else should go to the website to get it. which to me, seemed like the usual "gift card" grift - they know not everyone will go to the website and get it that didn't receive it via direct deposit, so they'll save a bunch of money and fuck over people who are too busy taking care of kids or working to read the fine print.

Maybe it decreases the higher the income before it cuts off entirely?

Went to the IRS Get My Payment site this morning...
