Per The Sun, Americans with ITINs are ineligible to receive government stimulus funds. Taxpayers who are qualified for the payment should file their 2020 tax forms by October 15.

Students in this state may be eligible for extra stimulus payment

Meanwhile, another stimulus check is on the way, this one for a specific set of Missouri residents. Missouri State University students may be eligible for a new $1,500 stimulus payment.

These stimulus checks may arrive as soon as a month from now for MSU students. Students in the United States with the most "exceptional" needs will be eligible for up to $1,500 in funding. And the ultimate figure may be much higher, up to $1,600, depending on MSU's final student count for the fall semester. Meanwhile, international students will be eligible for $750. While many other students in the United States receive $1,000.

In terms of how the money will be distributed among students, the school intends to provide them with the choice of accepting or rejecting the new stimulus payment. The money will be deposited into the student's Missouri State account if they want. The cash might then be used to pay off any outstanding debts they may have.

Alternatively, students can ask for the new stimulus payment to be sent to them as a banking direct deposit or a paper check by the school. Regardless of the amount of money owed to the institution by the student.
