Supplemental Security Income Recipients, Act Now – Go to IRS.gov – A Message from Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: February 21, 2023
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients who don’t file tax returns will start receiving their automatic Economic Impact Payments directly from the Treasury Department in early May. People receiving SSI 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 Your Information section to provide their information. SSI recipients who have dependent children and did not file 2018 or 2019 taxes need to act by Tuesday, May 5, in order to receive additional payments for their eligible children quickly.
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 people in this group do not provide their information to the IRS soon, their payment at this time will be $1,200 only. They would then be required to file a tax year 2020 tax return to obtain the additional $500 per eligible child.
I urge SSI recipients with qualifying children and 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.
Lastly, a word of caution. Be aware of scams related to the Economic Impact Payments. There is no fee required to receive these payments. Don’t be fooled.

Bad SSI, stupid Irs. Useless Senitor Martha McSally. No help, tho her poor employee Jeff was as nice as could be. That a us Senitor can’t fix what’s wrong only means she is doing nothing for her constituents. No stim for the aged and poor without jumping thru unnecessary flaming hoops. No wonder were no longer great. Bad Martha. Why u no help..? Ah yes too busy raising money. No vote from me no way.

I’m on ssdi and have
not received a stimulus check yet. It’s says I’m eligible for one. I do not file taxes., But I do have an active bank account with direct deposit. I’m wondering how much longer it would be before I receive a stimulus check.

How is it possible that you guys are going to start sending out a second stimulus payment to social security and disability recipients when we never even received the first one and we can’t get ahold of nobody to ask them what’s going on how are you guys even doing that and where is our money we are suffering where is our stimulus money and how come nobody at the Social Security or IRS can be called to get information to find out what’s going on I know other people on Social Security received theirs and they not disabled and we on disabled disability still have not received our stimulus check and you guys were talking about giving another one what the f*** is going on
