My roommate, who isn't a citizen, and who is a Chinese commie, received one.

Serious replies that answer my question only, please.

Yeah, because giving out money to everyone with an outstretched hand, only to have the payment go onto our national debt for the citizenry to repay (with interest) has always worked out well in the past.

If you are a permanent resident tax payer, yes you should get one. Reason is, you file your taxes like a normal citizen using the same forms.

Completely retarded. Not even a legal tax paying citizen of this country and gets a check? Let’s just give them out to the whole global population

Yes, one can be a non-citizen and get one, like a permanent resident.

Do you have to be a US citizen to receive a stimulus check?

Not necessarily. Under the March CARES Act, all US citizens and non-US citizens with a Social Security number who live and work in America were eligible to receive stimulus payments. That includes people who the IRS refer to as "resident aliens," green card holders, and workers using visas such as H-1B and H-2A. This rule is the same in the new law as well.

If your citizenship status changed since you first got a social security number, you may have to update the IRS's records to get your check through its online nonfilers tool. US citizens living abroad were also eligible for a first payment (more below).

>non-citizens

I'm a "non-citizen", I pay taxes just like everyone else, and I bet that in my lifetime I paid many times over most here did, including OP. So, if you wanna play that card, I'm cool with it, don't really need the "stimulus check" either, but I'd like my taxes back then.
