As part of the New Weston Way, physical distancing and facial coverings (some exceptions apply) will be required until health experts advise it is no longer necessary. And while some parks are now open for some much-needed fresh air and outdoor activities, Weston’s Safer at Home order is still in effect. It is important that all of our new guidelines are followed in order for us to continue the phased reopening process.
County Offers Mobile and In-Home COVID-19 Testing
Starting Wednesday, May 6, Broward County, the Florida Department of Health in Broward, American Medical Response, and the Century Ambulance Services are launching a mobile and in-home testing program in efforts to increase the number of COVID-19 tests. Residents eligible for the new testing option include homebound elderly or individuals with disabilities who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 and cannot leave their home to access drive-ups or walk-up tests sites.

Initial hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. until noon and 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. If you believe you are eligible, call the Broward County COVID-19 call center at 954-357-9500 for a prequalifying assessment. The call center is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.

Personas de bajos ingresos son elegibles para recibir pago de impacto económico

Personas de bajos ingresos son elegibles para recibir pago de impacto económico

Las personas de bajos ingresos son elegibles para recibir un pago de impacto económico. Aquellos que no tienen un requisito de presentación pueden usar la herramienta gratis en línea Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info para inscribirse rápida y fácilmente para recibir su pago. También hay disponible una versión en español de la herramienta.
La herramienta Non-Filers está diseñada para parejas casadas con ingresos inferiores a $24,400 o personas solteras con ingresos inferiores a $12,200. Esto incluye parejas e individuos sin hogar. Por lo general, las parejas casadas califican para recibir $2,400 mientras que las personas solteras califican para recibir $1,200. Las personas con dependientes menores de 17 años pueden obtener hasta $ 500 adicionales por cada hijo.
Incluso si una persona no trabaja, aún puede calificar para un pago de impacto económico. Sin embargo, no son elegibles si fueron reclamados como dependientes por otra persona.
Si una persona no tiene el requisito de presentar una declaración de impuestos federales, generalmente califica para un pago de impacto económico. Como el IRS no sabe quiénes son estas personas, ellos deben inscribirse con el IRS, ya que es la única manera en que pueden obtener el pago de impacto económico.
Para aquellos que normalmente no presentan una declaración de impuestos, el proceso es simple y sólo toma unos minutos. Primero, visite IRS.gov y busque Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here. Luego proporcione información básica, incluido el número de seguro social, el nombre, la dirección y los dependientes.
El IRS usará esta información para confirmar la elegibilidad y enviar el pago de impacto económico. No se adeudarán impuestos como resultado de recibir el pago. Ingresar la información de la cuenta bancaria o financiera permitirá al IRS depositar rápidamente el pago directamente en una cuenta de ahorros o corriente. De lo contrario, el pago se enviará por correo. La información ingresada en este sitio es segura.

¿Quién no debe usar la herramienta?

Cualquier persona que ya haya presentado una declaración de 2018 o 2019 no califica para usar esta herramienta. Del mismo modo, cualquiera que necesite presentar una declaración de 2018 o 2019 no debe usar esta herramienta, sino que debe presentar sus declaraciones de impuestos. Esto incluye a cualquiera que presente una declaración para reclamar varios beneficios tributarios, como el Crédito Tributario por Ingreso del Trabajo para personas y familias trabajadoras de bajos y moderados ingresos.
