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.

    In 2018 we claimed my 33 year old son with Downs on SSDI, as a dependent, however we did not claim him on 2019 or from now on. Should he have gotten a stimulus check or not?

  2. Hospitals &.

    A. DHS was established by the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-296), dated November 25, 2002, as an executive department of the U.S. Federal Government. On March 1, 2003 the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inherited the professional workforce, programs and infrastructure of the Coast Guard, Customs Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Transportation Security Administration, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 22 agencies in all. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was also created to carry on the work of the FBI slave traders who exposed the 9-11 suicide attackers to water soluble DOM in solidarity with military budget cuts. ICE must be abolished as an unlawful form of collective deportation under Art. 22 of the International Convention on the Protection of Migrant Workers and their Families (1990). DHS headquarters were committed to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in 2010 under 24USC§225h. After evading CR 18, in FY 19 the Office of Health Affairs (OHA) was abolished and National Program Protection Directorate changed its name to Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. In FY 20 biometrics and federal program protection were transferred to Management. In FY 20 the United States was defeated by COVID-19 due to corticosteroid inhaler prohibition and DHS must pay a $150 million to restart OHA. OHA will ensure employees get Pneumovax and everyone quarantined with a stuffy a nose or cough is treated with a dab of $1 hydrocortisone crème or essential oil of lavender to the nose and/or chest to cure coronavirus at the border and prohibit exposure of Clerks of Court and Congress to speed, ie. ephedrine, Mormon tea, etc., by undercover ICE hostilities, B&E at courthouse, drug war foot soldiers abroad. In FY 21 it is agreed that the Secret Service shall be transferred to the Treasury. To stop the counterfeiting at its origin, Congress must make Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) an independent Cabinet level agency with a congressional budget justification to add to the redacted outlay by agency table. The Report of the Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance A/73/305 of 6 August 2018 gives Congress the power to condemn homeland security propaganda as a form of national populism that is prohibited under Art. 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1976). Congress must restart OHA, appoint FEMA to the Cabinet and change the names of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to Customs in Title 6 of the US Code and Code of Federal Regulations and Court of International Trade of the United States (COITUS) to Customs Court (CC) to do the Customs Court Act of 1980 HIV.

    B. In FY 19 Customs and Border Protection collected approximately $82.0 billion in duties, taxes, and other fees, including more than $71.9 billion in duties, a 59% increase over FY 2018. The Treasury monthly report awards it to the Social Security Act in regards to the backlog at the Supreme Court, on the withholding on wages of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program and other allegedly non-resident aliens under 26USC§1441 that needs to be repealed pursuant to Marbury v, Madison (1803). The economic incentive to withhold regular priced documents under common articles 26-29 of the Conventions Relating to the Status of Refugees and Stateless Persons of 1951 and 1954 has a $10 limit on such cruel and unusual travel documents under Art. I Sec. 9 Cl. 1 of the US Constitution. Social Security is no longer declaring any suspicious payroll tax deficiencies in the 2020 Annual Report, before taking into consideration COVID-19 pandemic unemployment rate greater than 12% and preliminary 10% revenue decline estimate. Unpopular migration policy instantly caused zero revenue growth FY 17 & 18. Taxes lawfully withheld from aliens working and/or paying taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security are not to be misappropriated by Customs to perpetuate the deportation trade. Individual income and payroll tax revenues are assigned to the General Fund of the United States Treasury and Social Security Trust Funds respectively. The Office of Fiscal Policy wants to hear these taxes are immune from execution, levy, attachment, garnishment, or other legal process, or to the operation of any bankruptcy or insolvency law under 26USC§1441 by Sec. 207 of the Social Security Act under 42USC§407. Sen. Rob Portman may never know the official country by country US international trade statistics or true customs revenues under the Swiss Formula for Unilateral Tariff Reduction (2007) upgrade from algebra to 0.97 industrialized and 0.999 developing nation calculus, for the first term of trade war.

    1. The Customs budget is highly criticized for being counterfeit, like all federal student loan, FEMA hyperinflation in excess of 3% inflation, and Speaker of the House, since FY 17 under 18USC§472 and 31USC§ 5153. The speed is not coming just from her Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence anymore, without OHA, ICE seems to be an even more likely deputy-clerk suspect in the TCJA and Cares Act counterfeit “speed ticket” budget infringements on HA good deeds. Always demented, the Speaker of the House is now believed to be permanently disabled by Alzheimer’s pursuant to the XXV Amendment. The Secret Service is abandoning their margin of error defense in regards to the concealment of complicated FEMA disaster fund outlays ultra vires the DHS adjusted net budget authority used by the Treasurer to calculate DHS share of individual income tax revenues, from the White House Office of Management and Budget, by moving back in with the Treasury. Sans 26USC§§1441 Customs is exhibiting hyperinflation in Federal Emergency Management Agency, US Customs and Border Protection and US Immigration & Customs Enforcement budgets that must be retroactively stabilized to preserve normal 3% growth in balance available from FY 17 under 31USC§1502. Federal Emergency Management spending skyrocketed in FY 19 and FY 20 before being punished FY 21. Despite many withdrawals from disaster relief fund, the FEMA budget can almost certainly be stabilized to provide uniform 3% growth from $16.2 billion FY 17 to $18.1 billion FY 21. It is necessary that FEMA be appointed an independent Cabinet level agency with their own congressional budget justification, describing federal outlays and fund operations for the outlay by agency row, to afford to delete fictitious Other Defense Civil Programs, Allowances and Independent Agencies rows under 31USC§1501. ICE and CBP may estimate 3% growth from FY 17 to end their ”trade war” and enforce the Swiss Formula for Unilateral Tariff Reductions (2007) upgrade from algebra to deflationary calculus 0.97 industrialized, 0.999 developing nation from FY 16 tariff rates. Alternatively, CBP may keep their loot and abolish ICE.

    C. OMB must exactly report Total Budget Authority from the Budget-in-brief as outlays, if they are to report Total Custodial Revenues from the Agency Financial Report, in Tables 4.1 and 2.5 of the Historical Tables, respective of the Secret Service, and Anti-deficiency act under 31USC§1502. Although this outlay reduction information may or may not be useful to distributive calculus of the Treasury, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), who has already fudged over their only right answer, must stop gathering this duplicitous unnecessary information on outlay reduction due to revenues, and DHS overview table should cease reporting revenues to decrease federal outlays and is advised to proudly declare total revenues and expenses pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act under 44USC§3508. The FY 2021 President’s Budget proposes to transfer the United States Secret Service from DHS to the Department of the Treasury. The Secret Service budget includes necessary funding to coordinate and oversee the transfer to the Department of the Treasury. For additional information on the transfer proposal, please consult the Department of the Treasury chapters of the Main Budget Volume and the Major Savings and Reform Volume.

    D. The Office of Heath Affairs must be re-authorized by Congress for an estimated $150 million, up to $250 million for a Federal Air Physician or Practical Nurse, perhaps at airports. OHA will ensure all international travelers are properly vaccinated and staff receives Pneumovax and any other irregular vaccine that might be necessary due to the international nature of their post. OHA will ensure transportation centers treat the public, to a dab of $1 hydrocortisone crème to the nose or chest, or, at cost, to other, more expensive, corticosteroid to instantly cure contagious coronavirus nasal slime, fluid filled chest, or environmental mold allergy, and if they are not cured, they don’t travel. Stewardesses might prefer the smell of equally effective and possibly safer essential oil of lavender. A federal air physician or airport medical kit, must also be equipped instantly cure flus with Oseltamivir (Tamiflu), Zanamivir (Relenza) or Amantadine (Symmetrel). While spending may be high, morale seems low. The DHS budgets indicates that the irrational psychological (fight or) flight response to homeland security propaganda, is significantly alleviated by DHS employee international travel benefits. While retaining the travel benefits, DHS must alleviate the irrational fear of being tortured in the United States pursuant to Arts. 2, 4 and 14 of the Torture Convention whereby Congress must repeal “outside the United States (2009)” from 18USC§2340A(a) and amend Exclusive Remedies §2340B: The legal system shall ensure that the victim of an act of torture obtains redress and has an enforceable right to fair and adequate compensation, including the means for as full rehabilitation as possible. In the event of the death of the victim as a result of an act of torture, their dependents shall be entitled to compensation under Art. 14 of the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (1987). It is absolutely necessary that Congress immediately restarts OHA in light of the coronavirus, corticosteroid counterfeit, appoint FEMA to the Cabinet and change the names of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to Customs in Title 6 of the US Code and Code of Federal Regulations and Court of International Trade of the United States (COITUS) to Customs Court (CC) to do the Customs Court Act of 1980 HIV.

    I haven’t receive my stimulus check living overseas with a direct deposit to a U. S. bank either with no income except my social security. The IRS coronavirus tool doesn’t work either for me either.

    • David M.

      Same here Kathy in the Philippines. Today is the 20th and still no stimulus payment. I have been receiving my regular Social Security payments via direct deposit here for the past 7 years. My bank is a Philippine bank but they have offices in the U.S. I have never had a problem getting my monthly payment. I have no dependents and I am not required to file a tax return. Please let us know when you do receive a stimulus payment.

      Kind regards

      Hi Mohamed, thank you for your question. Please visit the IRS Economic Impact Payments Information Center to answer your questions about eligibility, payment amounts, what to expect, when to expect it and more. Hope this helps!

      • Mohamed M.

        No This Don’t Help, because I went through that ” IRS Economic Impact Payment Information Center” before I made this comment, nothing was mentioned about Retired Social Security Recipients living abroad, only regular US citizen living abroad who filed 2018/19 income tax. Please tell me, copies of our SSA-1099 Statement has no Banking Information for IRS to Direct Deposit into our Account. My Question is SSA coordinating With IRS for SS Recipients living Abroad????
        PLEASE CAN YOU REPLY ME TO MY QUESTION Other Than To Refer Me To IRS EIPIC, Please

      Trump 2020. Keep America Great. He will save Social Security and not cut Social Security. Everyone has received their stimulus check so stop complaining. The left wing conspirators are making false claims that people haven’t received their stimulus check yet.

      • Peter

          • Bliz

            Not true Tony..It isn’t fake news. I haven’t received mine either and neither has several other people I know who are on SSA and SSI or SSDI.

          • tony

            This is just fake news that people aren’t getting their stimulus check. If their is a mistake with the direct deposit, then they will be mailed a paper check which can take 20 weeks or longer. They just have to wait.

          • Peter

        • Chris

          Look I am not left wing either and some Republicans can be really something else. I will be honest though I have recieved my stimilus check on the 29th I recieve social security retirement but my wife has recieved nothing she is on ssi and ssdi she did the non filers tool. We are not legally married but we’ve been together 20 years. Anyways hopefully it comes soon got bills to pay.

        • tony

          There is a vast majority of Republicans collecting welfare. A true Republican knows how to work the system by not being legally married to collect SSI. Why are people rushing to get paid when they are going to put it in savings and not spend it? No one has said they need the money for groceries or pay the rent.
