Single adults who earn less than $75,000 will get the full $1,200. Married couples with no children who earn less than $150,000 will receive $2,400. Taxpayers filing as a head of household and earning less than $112,500 will get $1,200. Each of these groups receive an additional $500 per child claimed as a dependent. If your income is above the three thresholds, your check decreases by $5 for every $100 above the benchmark. Importantly, to receive a check you must be a U.S. citizen or resident and have a Social Security number.
