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.

Speed Queen v. Speaker of the House HA-23-4-20
After stalling out at $2.5 trillion revenues FY 17 – FY 19 the penalty for the $2.5 trillion unlawful assembly of the COVID-19 corticosteroid counterfeit Speed Queen print-out is a 15% devaluation of the US Dollar under 19USC§4421, 22USC§5301 and the Revised estimates: effect of changes in rates of exchange and inflation Report of the (fat) Secretary-General A/74/585 of 11 December 2019 pursuant to Approved (three mile run) resources for peacekeeping operations for the period from 1 July to 30 June A/C.5/73/21 (2019-2020) Add. 1 to make the leap over economic depression since A/C.5/70/24 (2016-2017) in less than 42 months (Revelation 13:10) by exempting only corticosteroid inhalers under the Montreal Protocol to achieve 2020 ozone goals, diagnose and treat the COVID-19 pandemic for more than a dab of hydrocortisone crème to the nose and chest. 26USC§4612(b) is to be amended by replacing it with- In addition, there is imposed a flat 5% energy export tax (feet) by the UN Arrears and Certain Iranian Assets Act of 2020. The adipose Secretary of State subtracted and must be bypassed – Customs, Treasury, UN direct. Congress has not authorized themselves a pay raise since the 2009 bailout, their zero growth policy has failed to grow from the $674 SSI (2009-11) diet propaganda of an obese accountant dying of atherosclerosis and causes serious occupational harm to 2.5% government inflation calculus since FY 16 dying of Alzheimer’s. The hypothetical FY 17 federal budget surplus was sabotaged by a -5% decline in individual income tax growth from an average annual rate of 8% 1990-2016 to 2.7% FY 17, 4.6% FY 18 and 1.7% FY 19 and economic failure is imminent as T-bond sales exceed 3% of GDP and come directly out of the stock exchange, unless the US dollar is devaluated FY 20. 8% individual income tax revenue growth will not be restored until the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) ends, the withholding on wages of aliens under 26USC§1441 is repealed, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is fully funded 2.5% inflation from FY16 and rampage shooting federal student loans collections are denied access to returns. CR 18 exceeded the $14,294 billion debt ceiling under 31USC§3101 and conspired with the fat to obese President to incompetently furlough federal workers and quarantine commerce instead of raising the debt ceiling $500 billion annually as is presumed innocent. Congress must exclude [revenues], [student loan savings], [collections], [$100 billion program level] and [mandatory funds for discretionary programs], from the President’s budget total under 2USC§661c. The fat SSA Commissioner, has failed to produce either the Annual Report of the Board of Trustees or advocate the provided request for extension of time, and is dangerously unpopular by locally poisonous design and economic stimulus litigiousness fooling the back painless back pay of the Supreme Court of Epsom salt under Sec. 1161 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§1320c-10. To overrule the 2.37% DI tax rate for 2018 and amend the effective DI tax rate to 2.05% (2018), 1.95% (2019), 1.91% or 2.0% (2020) in Sec. 201(b)(1)(T)(U)(V) of the Social Security Act under 42USC§401(b)(1)(T)(U)(V) with data from the 2019 Annual Report. Low income workers and beneficiaries need a 3% COLA every year inflation runs 2.5% – 3%, and the trust fund ratio is >20% to re-interpret Sec. 215(i) of the Social Security Act under 42USC§415(i). Federal minimum wage must be amended from $7.25 an hour to ‘$7.50 in 2020 and 3% more every year thereafter.’ under 29USC§206(a)(1)(D). To end child poverty by 2020 and all poverty by 2030 tax loopholes for Title I and the rich in Section 230 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§430 must be repealed, when the print-out is either afforded by devaluation, paid-off, and must be put on the table now, as the tax which Congress and the President are most attempting to evade and defeat under 26USC§7201. Agency budgets, secured en masse, just before the unlawful COVID-19 bailout assembly, are under review regarding sustain 2.5% annual growth in outlays for government and energy, 3% for armed services, education and health, 3.3% for food stamp, 4% disability and 6% for the OASI. Unusual 2020 BEA economic growth and revenues estimates regarding the COVID-19 depression under the separate but even more damaging influence of speed queen legislation are pending. One month to do the math, 1,000 miles to walk, I might be late. My 16 year old dog survived speed but died of an official public health quarantine of a doctor exposed to asymptomatic COVID-19 patient, related divorce, heart attack, painfully proving the effectiveness of Pneumovax immunity to S. pyogenes. 15% devaluation now, maybe more when the economic statistics are released, otherwise t-bond supply threatens to cause $2.5 trillion withdrawal from the stock exchange.
Dear Tardy, Fat, Arson not Tax Rebate Financier on Speed: Is the Board of Trustees going to cooperate with me to produce a Summer Solstice report that does attempt to estimate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or are you to defile the Supreme Court of the Epsom salt bath by being too fat and litigious to tell the truth by designation of Senate confirmation as yet another predictably fat Alzheimer’s enabler?
Santos P.
I’m on ssd with direct deposit when should I receive my stimulus check.
Jeanine B.
When will people on SS who dont file taxes going to get stimulus checks by direct deposit?
V.V.
Hi Jeanine, thank you for your question. Social Security retirement, survivors, or disability beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who do not have qualifying children under age 17 do not need to take any action with the IRS. You will automatically receive your $1,200 economic impact payment directly from the IRS. You should receive the automatic payments by direct deposit, Direct Express debit card, or by paper check, just as you would normally receive your Social Security benefits. Treasury expects automatic payments for Social Security beneficiaries no later than the end of April and automatic payments for SSI recipients no later than early May. We hope this helps.

Gail S.
If our social security benefits are direct deposited, why haven’t we received our stimulus payment. Is there something we have to do before we get it. It is very confusing for seniors.

it’s my understanding that the irs and the ssa will be sharing information on where to direct- deposit economic impact payments. you have all of my information and as i understand it those on ssdi are not required to do anything to receive it. the irs wasted no time distributing the first wave of economic impact payments. if only the second wave could be as quick. would you do me a favor and tell the irs to put on some speed. there are people hurting out here who aren’t getting any answers as to why this is taking so long to get to us. i’m p.o’d

we have heard it all before.
R. H.
Why is it such an impossible task from the IRS to actually ANNOUNCE when SSDI people are getting this? First it’s the 17th, then the 24th, then “by early May”. And of course the GET MY PAYMENT button the site is worthless to us because you say you don’t have our information. What is going on here? Meanwhile people are getting PAPER checks in the mail before we even get our DD? Does anyone in the treasury have any idea what they’re doing?

Most retirees who were not required to file, and have their direct deposit info with SS have been placed at the bottom of the stimulus, “non-care” about you federal pile. Why? It should be a simple electronic release, especially if you have DD via SS.
Most of the deaths occurring from COVID 19 are retirees being removed in available body bags. The retired elderly should be revered and not thrown into a bag or a refrgreated truck waiting for pickup. Simply, put retirees on SS first. Release the funds to SS to distribute without delay. How many SS retirees are on fixed income, isolated and have to use their resources for “Stay-In-Place”. Retirees need to also receive a monthly stipend until such time a vaccine is provided to all Americans at no cost. Thank you.
