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 entered all my info when trying to submit the form recaptcha kept sending me backwards. Probably because I live in the middle of nowhere. But because of that it was reflected and I was told to mail it in????? I thought they we’re backed up in mail. What is this going to mean for me and my family?

No children, depend on ssi, why no direct express deposit?

My 2018 taxes were a NEGATIVE number.. I was poor because SSDI TOOK AWAY MONEY FROM ME AND I HAD TO PAY ABOVE AND BEYOND THE NORMAL AMOUNT FORT MY MEDICARE INSURANCE!! Due to my receiving an inheritance from my mother, which I had already been HEAVILY TAXED ON!! CLOSE TO 15 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR FEDERAL. THANKS TO A WONDERFUL FINANCIAL ADVISOR WHOM DECIDED I WOULD 2ANT THIS, TO GET MY TAXES OUT OF THE WAY! This fall I sold the cabin I inherited, I can’t keep that up plus a home that I can’t keep up either!! Here’s the kicker…. I don’t have a dime to my name! In fact 50k in debt! Yep. This romance guy opened up credit cards in my name!; He of one off showing me see!!! End of that!!!!

My niece filed my taxes for 2019 but she deferred my refund until 2020. She also X’d out my bank account number. Is that why I have never gotten my $1,200 at age 94?

It isn’t that bad to take your life….if you don’t succeed ,the marks will hunt you. The LOVE of money is root to all evil. We need money but biblical we can go 40 days with no food nor water before seeing a demise. Read book of Psalms. We are comforted by others BUT others be having their own problems so learn to lean on Most High by eating HIS WORD.
Nonskydaddybeliever
I bet you cashed your check instead of eating his word! You should go eat a dick and fuck yourself with it afterwords you hateful piece of shit. What kind of person finds pleasure in someone’s misery and takes that time to berate another with your fantasy of an invisible sky daddy. You are truly an awful person! Disgusting!
figures
who are you talking to??? take your pills, psycho.

Sir. The coronavirus has left millions of fellow Americans in financial ruins, including me. But suicide is not the way out. I get my daily meals at the many food pantrys set up by the Gov. No shame on that. Is better than jail. And as for the ESP (The Money) for ssdi beneficiaries Uncle Sam says next week…stay strong .
Frankie c.
I see it like this if we as the people owed the irs they would be all over. us for their money.i hav a 2and a year old daughter to raise on my own and i cant get anything from our irs, i pray each day as the days tick by wondering what should i do??????because i struggle so much raising my child as a single parent.

Sell your computer and stop paying for internet if you are struggling so badly.
Nick P.
Wow sure am glad your ass ain’t the one struggling how inconsiderate of you to even say something like that to someone else that not got their stimulus I have five kids and a wife and filed my taxes feb 3 and still not heard or seen a dam thing from them or a stimulus. Now you going to tell me asshole I need to let my internet go well guess what I have gave my internet up I have had to borrow on our house on our vehicles even maybe if things dont change soon after my wife got covid 19 having to sell one of our vehicles to just make it so to this inconsiderate bastard that doesnt know the whole dam story you might want to get the facts before you start assuming things from other people in this world .You honestly need to get a life and stop being so dam cold hearted we dont have nothing and I would still share my last bit of food with anyone that would need it cause it’s called southern hospitality you might want to try that sometime instead of judging others and their situations it’s people like you I’d like to drag out and beat some dam sense into when it comes to helping others.

Right I think there lying about the social security people getting one cause we haven’t got it yet
jake o.
just because you haven’t got your check does not mean people are lying. there are millions and millions of people that receive checks from SSA, and what, like 100 people hanging around this blog? come on now. – not every person collecting is going to run on this blog and report that they received money. a lot of those people don’t even have computers.
