If both husband and wife filing joint have ITIN's and have 2 kids with SSN,will this scenario qualify as mixed household for stimulus payments? I understand if one of the parents have a SSN then one parent and the kids will qualify for stimulus payments which seems correct but there are some articles out there and even videos saying that if parents have ITIN and children have SSN they qualify for stimulus payments on behalf of the children. Any clarification?

File a tax return if anyone in your household has a Social Security number. You are eligible for stimulus payments if:<UL><LI>You (and your spouse, if filing jointly) are under the income limit.</LI><LI>You are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.</LI><LI>You or your spouse has a Social Security Number (SSN). For the third stimulus check, you can receive $1,400 for each dependent with an SSN, even if you (and your spouse, if married) have Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). More details on SSN requirements are discussed below.</LI><LI>You are a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or qualifying resident alien.</LI></UL>Social Security Number Rules for the Third Stimulus CheckAny family member that has a Social Security number (SSN) can qualify for the third stimulus check. For example, in a household where both parents have ITINs, and their children have SSNs, the children qualify for stimulus checks, even though the parents don’t.You can claim the third stimulus check for dependents of any age who live with you, not only children. Dependents must have an SSN or ATIN.
