Stimulus money is expected to arrive in bank accounts this week.
My producer saw her $2,400 pending in her account. That's the amount couples filing jointly will get if they qualify and have an adjusted gross income up to $150,000. They get decreasing amounts with incomes up to $198,000.
For singles, it's $1,200 in stimulus money with adjusted gross incomes up to $75,000 and lesser amounts up to $99,000.
So do you have to pay the money back? An email going around says "tack on this recovery rebate to taxes owed."
But the Internal Revenue Service says that's not true. You don't have to pay it back nor will the money be taxed.
But if it isn't enough, the state is holding money and you may qualify for it right now.
The Arizona Department of Revenue's unclaimed money program has $1.5 billion in it being held for past and present residents.
The Department's Ed Greenberg says the money was turned over to the state from old bank accounts, forgotten security deposit boxes and more.
And because it's the department's job to help track down owners, they have given us the names of 30 people who have money to claim right now.
These are people who have money waiting:
