    How many dependents can qualify for the $1400 stimulus? Is there a limit to how many or can any household claim and get checks for as many dependents as they care for?

    Looks as though there isn't a cap on that. Both the first and second checks didn't have a cap either.

    Yeah this sounds right. My brother was able to claim his kids with no problems in doing so.

    I haven't seen anything about a cap for dependents as far as the stimulus checks go. I thought I had seen something about "up to 2" dependents for the 2nd checks, but I think this most recent check doesn't have a limit.

    There doesn't appear to be a cap on the number of dependents allowed, but there is a big difference with the 3rd stimulus check because there is a "hard cap" on who qualifies. Individuals who earn $80,000 or more, HOH who earn $120,000 or more, and couples who earn $160,000 or above will not only be ineligible for a 3rd stimulus check, but they will also get no money for any dependent(s).

    That still won't effect the vast majority of people, but it certainly will make it so some people who got the first two stimulus checks won't be getting a third.
