if you didn't get a Stimulus Payment yet

vom_marloweTake a look at this Washington Post article.
There's been a TON of confusion over who qualifies, how to get the payment, how to contact the IRS, etc, etc. But long story short, basically everyone qualifies, including those without a job AND those on disability. It should be $1,200 per person and $2,400 per married-filing-jointly.
In case this is a concern... The stimulus payment doesn't screw up disability income limits--I researched this extensively for family.
One fun thing that happened was that a lot of people were sent their money as a pre-paid debit card, but because the IRS sent it in a plain envelope, it looked like junk mail, and people threw it away.
If you haven't gotten your money yet, you can find out information on the IRS website here. October 15th is the deadline to give the IRS certain information to be paid this year.
Posting this because a friend of the family was under the impression that there was only a brief window to request the payment, that she'd missed it, and that was that. She doesn't file tax returns, so she wasn't in the IRS auto-payment group. (My own payment took a while because I file with TurboTax, but it got here eventually.)
Anyway. Probably not applicable to anyone but in these times, it's a lot of money, so I'm posting it just in case. There's ALSO a very confusing but possibly applicable $500 child credit, so that might be worth a look, too.
