US stimulus payments

I think the person who wrote that screwed up, Mr. Admin. Although some initial reporting used the word "residents," later reports used words like "taxpayers" or "citizens" or just "Americans." And so does the IRS itself, most of the time. See here, for example. It now appears that citizens and permanent residents are eligible, regardless of where they actually live.

All of this is happening relatively fast (for government), so the occasional snafu shouldn't be too surprising.
