Stimulus payment and SS

[Gretel]

I am a little bit confused. Client is disabled and gets SS. Spouse has W-2 - $1,000, 2 kids. My program gives them $600 for the kids. I thought they get money for the kids only if they also receive child tax credit, but maybe kids just need to be eligible for the credit?

CTC not required for the $300 per child, just $3,000 mimimum in qualifying income --- combo of SS & W-2. Kids must be CTC-eligible -- i.e. under 17.
