The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund has filed the class action lawsuit on behalf of the American citizens who were denied payments because they're married to ITIN holders.
emergency relief payments to Americans who makes less than $75,000 per year, as well as $500 additional for each dependent child under 17. The CARES Act stipulates that any taxpayers who file with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number , rather than a Social Security Number , are ineligible for stimulus payments -- including ITIN holders who file jointly with U.S. citizens who do have SSNs, as in the case of married couples.
Anastasia Campos explained that she files jointly with Jose on the advice of U.S. immigration officials, who encourage the practice to prove the legitimacy of the relationship."We have individuals who are waiting for their papers to go through. They have not ever entered illegally. They were included on the taxes because we are told this is something Immigration wants to see. They want to see documentation, continuity," Campos said.
Another federal lawsuit filed against President Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin was filed in Chicago last week. Lawyers say the plaintiff in that case, who remains anonymous, is not being treated"as equal to his fellow United States citizens based solely on whom he chose to marry."
On Friday, Pelosi, Schumer and Castro gathered on a conference call, which included Segundo-Hernandez and Campos, to raise awareness of the issue.
