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.

    Everytime it and look it up it has nothing under my name. Why??

  2. Hospitals &.

    The foundation of the public health service is typically attributed to July 16, 1798, when President John Adams signed a bill into law that created what we now know as the U.S. Public Health Service by establishing the U.S. Marine Hospital Service, predecessor to today’s U.S. Public Health Service, to provide health care to sick and injured merchant seamen under 24USC§14. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is advised to graduate into two separate agencies, the Public Health Department (PHD) and the Department of Human Services (DHS), with two separate congressional budget justifications, as should have been done by the Department of Education Re-organization Act on May 4, 1980, under 20USC§3508. This is the story of Administration for Children and Families (ACF) initially backing down from $61.7 billion FY 19 to $61.2 billion FY 20 to $55 billion FY 21 getting support from the HHS Coronavirus Corticosteroid Counterfeit CARES Act giving Congress, and health agency budget cuts, to make the leap to $70 billion FY 21 in less than 42 months (Revelation 13:10). ACF must sustain 3% growth in programs again budget cut persecution, such as refugee programs and low-income energy assistance programs and administrate the remainder as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) benefits for families impoverished by the COVID-19 pandemic. ACF authorized apportionments necessitate deficiency or supplemental appropriation under 31USC§1515 to prevent failure of HHS to pay legal child-support obligations under 18USC§228. Even with $15 billion more ACF spending total outlays are significantly less historically, adding up the CMS kabocha doll, going down $100 billion from $1.4 to $1.3 trillion FY 21. The federal deficit is further reduced by reporting $140 billion CMS advanced appropriations as undistributed offsetting receipts. $240 billion deficit reduction for only a dab of $1 hydrocortisone crème to the nose and chest to cure the COVID-19 pandemic, coronavirus is the cheapest and easiest of cold viruses to cure.

    For all its trillion-dollar confession regarding the increase in infant and maternal mortality due to continuing HHS child welfare robbery, the HHS budget is not worth as much as a jab of Pneumovax at 65 or antibiotic prescription to tolerate talking to a doctor immunized against S. pyogenes. Bathe in pillars of Epsom salt to cure hospital acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) + Streptococcus spp. = toxic shock syndrome to solve PDR v. Harrison Chiropractic (2019) and painless back pay pursuant to Scarborough v. Principi (2005), Shinseki v. Sanders (2009) and Ratliff v. Astrue (2011). Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control (HCFAC) is held responsible for the on-going poisonous and torturous monoclonal antibody B&E of social security address entry, by need to repeal 2USC§901(b). Stonebreaker (Chanca piedra) cures urinary and gallstones overnight. Don’t pandemic, a dab of $1 hydrocortisone crème to the nose and chest cures coronavirus, easiest of all cold viruses to cure with corticosteroids, for less than essential oil of lavender. Legalize corticosteroid inhalers under the Montreal Protocol to cure COVID-19 and achieve 2020 ozone goals.

    I have my bank account in Tampa fl. direct deposit for my social security.
    Please help me to find out why I haven’t received my stimulus check. I live in Honduras.

      The stimulus check is to stimulate the USA economy. If you do not live in the USA or one of its territories why would you expect a check? Tax payers here do not want to stimulate the economy in Honduras.

      I certainly hope so. People I know on SSDI with direct deposit like me got theirs like 2 weeks ago & I can’t find any answers or help as to why I have yet to receive mine. The IRS site is useless regarding this issue, and there doesn’t seem to be anyone or any agency that’s willing to either provide some concrete information or help resolve it. Stay safe everyone!
