The stimulus checks that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin says will be deposited into Americans’ bank accounts “within three weeks” won’t be enjoyed by everyone. That’s because the massive $2 trillion stimulus package, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Security (CARES) Act, excludes some Americans from receiving the one-time payments, which are set at $1,200 for adults and $500 for children.

Here’s who won’t get a stimulus check:

• Children who are 17 or 18 years old.
  
• Many college students between the ages of 19 to 23.
  
• Adults who can be claimed as dependents.
  
• Nonresident aliens (in other words, those without a green card).
  
• Estates.
  
• Individuals who earn more than $99,000 or married couples earning more than $198,000.
  
• People who haven’t filed 2018 and 2019 tax returns.
