If my spouse is granted a SSN for the 2020 tax season, instead of an ITIN which he currently has, will we be eligible for the stimulus money if filing jointly.

Currently, I have a SSN, and my spouse has an ITIN. We are waiting (due to financial hardship) to file for his green card in order to get him a SSN. Since there is an ITIN on our 2019 tax return we are BOTH not eligible for the Covid CARE Federal stimulus payments.
If we are able to get him a SSN, and then we will both have one, will receive the payment (if any) for the 2020 tax season.

Currently we are receiving nothing (even though I am a legal US citizen who has always paid taxes and has a valid SSN) because he has an ITIN on our returns.

I understand that things are changing quickly, or the Gov may not have even given guidelines for this. If that is case, please let me know where I can look for this information now or in the future.

Thank you for your time.

The IRS is launching "Get My Payment" which may have the answers you're looking for. 

That should be active next week.

The law does not allow stimulus payments to people who file a return using an ITIN. A taxpayer must have a valid Social Security Number to qualify for the stimulus payment. If married filing jointly, both taxpayers must have a valid Social Security Number. you'll have to wait til 2020
