If I files married jointly and my husband has an itin with no income, will I receive stimulus checks?

This is how the IRS addresses the question.

 

Although some filers, such as high-income filers, will not qualify for an Economic Impact Payment, most will.

Taxpayers likely won't qualify for an Economic Impact Payment if any of the following apply:

  • Your adjusted gross income is greater than
    • $99,000 if your filing status was single or married filing separately
    • $136,500 for head of household
    • $198,000 if your filing status was married filing jointly
  • You can be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return. For example, this would include a child, student or older dependent who can be claimed on a parent’s return.
  • You do not have a valid Social Security number.
  • You are a nonresident alien.
  • You filed Form 1040-NR or Form 1040NR-EZ, Form 1040-PR or Form 1040-SS for 2019.

So if we file jointly and our income is below the threshold and one partner has SSN and the other does not. Will we be eligible? I am on H1B visa and my wife is not eligible to get a SSN and my income is below the threshold of those filed separately also
