There isn't a minimum earned income threshold to qualify for a payment. However, you can earn too much, income phaseouts will result in reduced payment for higher adjusted gross incomes. Single filers with income over $75,000 will have their stimulus check reduced by $5 for every $100 over $75,000. Single individuals with an income above $99,000 won't receive any payment.  Joint filers begin seeing income phaseouts at $150,000, again with their check being reduced by $5 for every $100 earned above the limit.
