Supplemental Security Income Recipients Will Receive Automatic COVID-19 Economic Impact Payments
Reading Time: 2 MinutesLast Updated: February 21, 2023
The Treasury Department announced that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients will receive automatic Economic Impact Payments directly from the Treasury Department. Treasury anticipates these automatic payments to go out no later than early May.
SSI recipients with no qualifying children do not need to take any action in order to receive their $1,200 economic impact payment. The payments will be automatic.
SSI recipients who have qualifying children under age 17, however, should not wait for their automatic $1,200 individual payment. They should now go to the IRS’s webpage and visit the Non-Filers: Enter Your Payment Info section to provide their information. By taking proactive steps 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 SSI beneficiaries in this group do not provide their information to the IRS soon, they will have to wait until later to receive their $500 per qualifying child.
This is great news for SSI recipients, and I want to remind recipients with qualifying children to go to IRS.gov soon so that you will receive the full amount of the Economic Impact Payments you and your family are eligible for. I also want to thank the dedicated employees of the Treasury Department, Social Security, and the Internal Revenue Service for making this happen and working non-stop on this issue.
SSI Recipients with Dependent Children Should Still Go To IRS.gov to Provide Their Information
Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability insurance beneficiaries (who don’t normally file taxes) will also qualify for automatic payments of $1,200 from Treasury. These payments are anticipated to start arriving around the end of April.
The Treasury Department, not Social Security, will make these automatic payments to beneficiaries. Recipients will generally receive the automatic payments by direct deposit, Direct Express debit card, or by paper check, just as they would normally receive their SSI or Social Security benefits.
For those SSI and Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability insurance beneficiaries, with dependent children, who use Direct Express debit cards, additional information will be available soon regarding the steps to take when claiming children under 17, on the IRS website.
Please note that the agency will not consider Economic Impact Payments as income for SSI recipients, and the payments are excluded from resources for 12 months.
For more information about Social Security retirement, survivors, and disability insurance beneficiaries, please see our most recent blog.
The eligibility requirements and other information about the Economic Impact Payments can be found on the IRS website. In addition, please continue to visit the IRS for the latest information.

jess
i am on SSI
my dad claimed me last year on his taxes ? could i still get the package ?
jess
I’m a jess too 🙂
did he claim you this year? it might depend on your age. good luck
Mickie E.
i was told that we will get it later today is that true ??
jess
mickie i don’t think we will. It would be great, but I think its coming first week of May.
jess
I am thinking first week of may too. because I read before that second wave of checks were starting friday 17th, and no one (no one real) is reporting getting any money yet. A lot of banks, like mine, deposit at midnight. we are all waiting, a lot of us are not crooks and need some extra help right now to. and thats okay.. we are in a serious crisis right now. we are all anxious and annoyed, upset etc. so do yourselves a favor and stop responding to stupidity. this could either be a very intelligent rich kid, or a schizophrenic.. and therefore, probably belongs at home on a disability. I wouldn’t want that kind of crap out in our society.
god bless and good night

good luck to everyone who is need: please remember that no one has a right to judge a situation they don’t even know anything about. I think the money will probably come in earlier may like others have said. I wish everyone the best.

Everyone has the right to judge. That’s just exercising one’s god given right to form an opinion or set of opinions. …or use critical thinking skills to assess a person or situation based on the available information.
HOWEVER, before anyone gets unjustifiably angry at me for the aforementioned statement, you too have the same aforementioned god given rights, which permit you to mock trolls incessantly for their crass and willfull idiocy.
So…by all means…feel free to mock that retard. I feel it’s more than warranted.
greg m.
You people are fucking retards. I’ve posted here on at least 20 different names just to aggravate the shit out of you, and it worked every shot. I am 17, live at home and my parents are very well off. Jack hole bastards
Get a job you bum, you ssi collecting freeloader bum! No thanks….. I could literally sense the fumes coming out of your ears.
Later Losers.
Sylvester V.
Clearly you have no life you dumb retard. You have all that time to be trolling a government website. Take your meds you dumb ass schizophrenic troll retard and stop wasting you time on the internet masturbating to Anime porn and being a menace to society dumb ass. You just exposed your own self trolling with different alias, you should be calling your own self a bum,because this is what you are. Your dumb bitch mom forgot to abort you,please take that issue up with her, so she don’t make the same mistake creating another dumb troll shit like yourself.
gene

Some of your troll posts were funny but now…it looks like the jokes on you
Gregory A.
I filled out the non-filers enter payment info on Monday with my direct deposit info because at the time SSI recipients wasn’t getting the stimulus checks automatically and I haven’t heard anything back from the IRS. I’m currently on SSI now and I have my direct deposit info with social security on file along with my mailing address. Will I still be able to get my stimulus check?
deb
No. Try the price is right.
Anitakins
I think the best thing to do is if you’re on SSI or SSDI, without any dependents just keep checking your card, and check for any pending deposits…if you’re veterans or if you have any dependents under the age of 17, or if you’re in a situation where you need to file your taxes and haven’t, then fill out the non filers tax form, on the IRS website, if you don’t get a confirmation by email then something is wrong, the “get my payment” app is not for SSI or SSDI recipients that why there is a error message…when and how the deposits are going to be released is anybody’s bet, because as you know they are not giving that information directly probably because they meaning the IRS may or may not be able to follow through ..so don’t wreck your nerves trying to figure it out ..this pandemic is stressful enough.. blessings to everyone please stay safe, the struggle is real…✌️
jacob r.
check your direct express card if you have it, 1200 just got deposited for mine,
Spudd w.

I m just curious why do you people on ss or disability so curious about this stimulas check when none of you even work anymore or some have never worked so this shut down doesn’t affect you cause yous get the same money every month and yous make good with what yous get monthly . The only people that should be and looking for that check should be the ones that lost there jobs temporarily or even permanently cause of this virus so for the ss and disability recipients be grateful for this bonus check and be patient cause basically the country is giving you a bonus in which in my eyes yous shouldn’t be getting it and it would’ve saved the country billions of dollars. That’s what this country is a bunch of moochers . Stop being so greedy think about the people that lost incomes before you think about yourself that you receive a check every month.
Sean M.
John piss off. It’s been all over the news that many tax payers have got their stimulus check and been buying shit like dildos, stuffed animals and gaming systems, bragging all about it on twitter and shit. A LOT of us have either worked our asses off for many years or are disabled at no fault of their own. I don’t give a fuck about what matters in YOUR eyes. Who the fuck are you? MANY of these people are dropping a shitload of money on delivery services, additional transportation and sky high prices to keep them safe and healthy through this god awful time. So YES, they are eagerly awaiting this check. Don’t like it? Go fuck yourself.
greg m.
YOU TELL HIM SEAN!
Sean M.
Quit talking to yourself, greg.
greg m.
Ok Sean, peace.
Sean M.
peace bruh
Ignorant douche bags
You’re a.
i get one cause I paid into social security and I am also getting VA benefits so yeah…..lmao you probably couldn’t even make it through basic training lmfao
deane
Just to piss you off, ass hole. 🙂
Melanija K.
You’re in the same boat mooching off the government with us, so please stop your nonsense and start ranting about how we are dead last going to get out stimulus check while illegal Mexican Juan Lopez who’s here on a Visa work permit already has his $1,200 in his bank account,how about you rant about that. Trump has never cared about disabled Americans especially those that are on Social Security and he made it so spiting for us to get our emergency funds last, Last, Fucking LAST. We are going to be literally waiting for this money from now until the early May. 3 god damn weeks from now. You think that is fair for us when we are most vulnerable at this point for this emergency fund. Ridiculous and Nonsense!
