Christina Segundo-Hernandez lives in Fort Worth, Texas, with her husband and four children. She was born in the United States and is an American citizen, as are her four children. Yet she won't be getting her $1,200 stimulus check, nor will she be getting the additional $2,000 -- that's $500 apiece for her children -- all because her husband is not an American citizen. Anastasia Campos is in the same boat. She's an American citizen who lives alone with her four children near Sacramento. Her husband, Jose, is from Mexico, and is waiting there for his paperwork to be processed so that he can join Anastasia in the U.S. Both women are part of a federal class action lawsuit filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense fund in Maryland this week. MALDEF estimates there are 2 million American citizens who won't receive the checks because their spouses are not American citizens, while the Migration Policy Institute estimates the number to be 1.2 million.

Yeah if you are listed as someones dependent on their tax returns, you will not receive a check.

It's specifically people with a SSN. You can be an immigrant and have an SSN
