Commercial question - "Are you on SSI and did not file taxes in 2019..."
Has anyone else heard this radio commercial?

I have heard it at least a dozen times in the last 3-4 days. And considering the only time I get in my car is to run to Lowe's, which is 2.5 miles away, I have heard it A LOT considering the very limited time I spend in my car.

The commercial is telling people who are on SSI and have a child under 17, and were not required to file taxes in 2019, they must visit a website to claim the $500 stimulus payment for their child.

The commercial ends with, "This commercial was produced by the Social Security Administration at taxpayer expense."

So not only has the federal government increased our debt by over $2 trillion, now that are paying for ads instructing people how to claim the money?

A dozen times? Is that all? Sometimes I hear it three times in a row, with different voices. I understand tomorrow is the deadline, so hopefully we'll be done wit it. Only to be replaced by something else. Roll Eyes
