Here is the criteria to get a check

The payment — which the IRS is calling an "economic impact payment," the government has named a "recovery rebate," and many people are calling a "stimulus check" — is technically an advance tax credit meant to offset your 2020 federal income taxes.

Have a Social Security number.
Have filed taxes in 2018 or 2019, or don't earn enough to file but receive Social Security payments.
Earned less than $99,000 for single filers, $136,500 for heads of household, or $198,000 for married filers according to the most recent tax return filed.
Are not claimed by someone else as a dependent.
