Economic Impact Payments for People with a Rep Payee, and People Living in U.S. Territories
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: February 21, 2023
Social Security issued an update today about COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments to certain groups of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries. Beneficiaries who have their regular monthly payments managed for them by another person, called a representative payee, will begin receiving their Economic Impact Payments from the IRS in late May.
Special rules apply to beneficiaries living in the U.S. territories: American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In general, the tax authority in each territory, not the IRS, will pay the Economic Impact Payment to eligible residents based on information the IRS will provide to the territories. It is anticipated that beneficiaries in the territories could begin receiving their Economic Impact Payment in early June.
“The Social Security Administration has been working with the IRS to provide the necessary information about Social Security and SSI beneficiaries in order to automate and expedite their Economic Impact Payments,” said Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. “While millions of our beneficiaries have already received their Economic Impact Payments from the IRS, we continue to work hard for those beneficiaries who are awaiting their payment from the IRS.”
For additional information about payments to beneficiaries with representative payees, please visit our website.
For the territories, people should contact their local tax authority with questions about these payments. Please note their website may use the term “Economic Impact Payment” or “stimulus payment.”
The eligibility requirements and other information about the Economic Impact Payments can be found at the IRS’ Economic Impact Payment Information Center. In addition, please continue to visit the IRS Coronavirus web page for the latest information.

The President spent a lot of tax payers money mailing out stupid Notice 1444 (EN-SP) instead of mailing out stimulus paper checks.

The President has the IRS sending people stupid Notice 1444 (EN-SP).
It is a useless piece of crap sent by the President. It doesn’t provide no information on the direct deposit account it was sent to.
It states, ” I am pleased to notify you that as provided by the CARES Act, you are receiving an Economic Impact Payment of $1200 by direct deposit.”
People who haven’t received their direct deposit are screwed.
