Act Now – Go to IRS.gov – A Message from Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: March 17, 2021
Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who don’t file tax returns will start receiving their automatic Economic Impact Payments directly from the Treasury Department soon. People receiving benefits who did not file 2018 or 2019 taxes, and have qualifying children under age 17, however, should not wait for their automatic $1,200 individual payment. They should immediately go to the IRS’s webpage and visit the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here section to provide their information.
Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability insurance beneficiaries with dependent children and who did not file 2018 or 2019 taxes need to act by Wednesday, April 22, in order to receive additional payments for their eligible children quickly. SSI recipients need to take this action by later this month; a specific date will be available soon.
By taking this proactive step to enter information on the IRS website about them and their qualifying children, they will also receive the $500 per dependent child payment in addition to their $1,200 individual payment. If beneficiaries in this group do not provide their information to the IRS soon, their payment at this time will be $1,200. People would then be required to file a tax year 2020 tax return to obtain the additional $500 per eligible child.
I urge Social Security and SSI recipients with qualifying children who do not normally file taxes to take action now. Immediately go to IRS.gov so that you will receive the full amount of the Economic Impact Payments you and your family are eligible for.
Action Needed for Social Security Beneficiaries with Dependents and Who Do Not File Tax Returns to Receive $500 Per Child Payment
People with Direct Express debit cards who enter information at the IRS’s website should complete all of the mandatory questions, but they may leave the bank account information section blank as Treasury already has their Direct Express information on file.
Additionally, any new beneficiaries since January 1, 2020, of either Social Security or SSI benefits, who did not file a tax return for 2018 or 2019, will also need to go to the IRS’s Non-Filers website to enter their information as they will not receive automatic payments from Treasury.

I’m on SSA and had a small amount to pay after I file my 2019 taxes on January 19th a debit was made for my checking account on January 27th on April 15th I went on the website get my check and they said they didn’t have information so I can put my debit banking information checking account information again. Yesterday I checked again and IRS told me they will mail me a check? I’m not sure why they’re going to mail a check when they have all my banking and checking account information.

I’ve worked all my life and have paid child support. I got sick 2 yrs ago and was told I had only 1 yr to live. The 1st yr I was sick I was unable to pay child support and I got on SSI and SSDI and have been paying $100.00 a month. Sooo because I am $1,200 behind……….. I DON’T GET A STIMULUS CHECK!!!!! I THINK CHECKING OUT OF THIS PLACE IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING!!!
