Supplemental Security Income Recipients, Act Now – Go to IRS.gov – A Message from Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul

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.

  5. Fed U.

    ALERT ALERT ! ! !

    I’m on Direct Express® Debit MasterCard®, I’ve been getting my SSA retirement for 4 years now on that card.
    Guess what was in the mailbox yesterday?
    A FUCKING CHECK!

    I’m a registered Republican and didn’t bother voting at all as I didn’t care for any of them, local, state or fed, both parties have been rotten to the core… well since “I’m not a crook” Tricky Dick.
    I guess that BOZO in the White House wanted to shove his name in my face. When I cashed it (for free) I had to put my thumbprint on the check. I did it right over his name and wiggled my thumb so too blot out his name real gud!

    So check your mailboxes!

    I still haven’t got any ‘Made In USA’ N95 masks, no visit from the Red Cross, FEMA, or the BOZO in Chief, but I can walk around with a wallet full of $100 bills acting like I’m something big.
