The IRS takes new steps to ensure people with children receive $500 Economic Impact Payments
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: August 17, 2020
The IRS has extended its deadline to September 30, 2020 to provide information to the IRS using its IRS’ Non-Filer Tool if you:
- Receive Social Security retirement, survivors, or disability benefits, or SSI payments.
- Did not file a 2019 or 2018 tax return.
- Have a qualifying child under age 17.
- You did not already enter information in the IRS’ Non-Filer Tool for you and at least one child.
If you already entered information in the IRS’ Non-Filer Tool before and even after the IRS’ previously announced deadlines (April 22 if you receive Social Security; May 5 if you receive SSI), you do not need to do anything. The IRS will automatically make a payment in October based on the information you provided them.
Please read the IRS’ August 14 press release for more details.

I have a now 18 year old as of June i dont think its fair that he did not get anything and he still in school the 17 and 18 and 19 year old still have to eat to and needs things to . I dont think its right to leave that age group out .
