Stimulus checks are here to stay in American payments. In the United States, this type of payment stopped being sent some time ago, but today citizens continue to call the extra payments they can get through various means a stimulus check. In this case, the payment has nothing to do with either the IRS or the Social Security Administration.
This particular payment is related to a data breach that occurred during the past year. And through that data breach, thousands of Americans will today be able to enjoy a payment of up to $4,000 if they qualify. Truth be told, it’s not like everyone can reach that high a figure, but a stimulus check is always welcome, even if it’s not $4,000.
The payment will be a one-time payment, so we can’t expect to have more than one such check. While getting it only once may seem insufficient, the truth is that thanks to this stimulus check we will have extra money that we didn’t have before. So there is nothing to worry about, quite the contrary.
ELIGIBILITY TO GET THE $4,000 STIMULUS CHECK
The first thing we need to keep in mind is that if we were Inntopia customers in 2022 we may have access to this stimulus check. This is because the company had a data breach and as a result, data thieves got the information of millions of United States citizens.
After that, the company got a lawsuit on the grounds of not protecting its customers’ information. As a result of this lawsuit, the company reached an agreed settlement in which customers could get around $500. This money was intended to remedy the problems related to the data breach.
Still, it is not the only figure that will reach these citizens. It is possible to augment that $500 stimulus check with an additional $3,500. To do this, the citizen must prove that they have lost money through that data breach.
If you have official documentation and are eligible, you can get the $4,000 stimulus check. To prove this we must include all documentation that we have available. All invoices, all receipts and billing statements and any other documents that will help us identify that we suffered losses due to this breach.
DEADLINE FOR REQUESTING PAYMENT
The deadline to apply for this stimulus check is November 30 of this year. After that, the company will not grant any other checks related to the data breach. So if you were a victim of identity theft or personal information theft remember to provide all documents before the deadline.
The process is nothing more than filing a claim directly. That claim can be made through the official website of the case. So enter that domain as soon as possible and submit all your documents if you want to get this direct payment.
As for the collection method to get stimulus check there is nothing announced yet. The company itself will announce everything related to the payment once it starts paying the established checks.
It is important to note that this type of payment does not interfere with any other check related to our day-to-day life. That is, we can combine this payment with Social Security, SSI or disability benefits. Of course, we must watch out for taxes, since we may have to pay taxes on this check.
To avoid unpleasant surprises on the next Tax Return in 2024, the best thing to do is to hire an advisor to help us with the taxes on this stimulus check. Even the lawyers themselves who are working on the claim case may have important information about it.
