You are absolutely positively completely entirely incorrect.
This has nothing to do with whether or not you're working or retired.
It has to do with your actual INCOME. If your retirement income is low, then you will receive the check. There are people who live on pensions, who are not working because they're retired, but their pensions aren't high enough to hit that cap of $99,999 per person. And so, they will receive a stimulus check.
There are people who are retired, live on pensions, and don't collect social security yet (you have to be 62 or older to collect, many people retire before they reach that age even if they're not wealthy).
There are people who collect social security but no pension, and their social security checks are modest and under that threshhold.
There are people who are not working, and not retired yet. They'll be getting a check too. This isn't money people are getting because they've "earned" it. It is money people are getting so the citizens can boost the local economy and prevent more stores from closing, and prevent more people in the unemployment lines.
