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.

I am having issues with the Economic Impact Payments. The purpose was to help those who have been devasted by Covid-19. You are not allowing a group of Americans who struggle everyday to make ends meet and you send money to everyone except those most needing, them you punish!!! Being claimed as a dependent on someones elses taxes makes you undeserving and discriminated against. Those who do let others claim them are only trying to maximize their money to help stretch it just a bit more like any business, any tax payer, any elected official, yet you dangle $1200.00 in front of them and most others then you become hideous, stingy, cruel and mean by taking their money, who need it more than anyone, due to a technicality or better a mean spirit or by thinking you are one up on them. That money would have been so greatly needed and appreciated and the USA, all of us yold them they were unworthy! Shame on the USA!!
