The IRS will issue the EIPs via direct deposit and Direct Express starting today, May 22, to the same direct deposit account or Direct Express card as the recipient’s monthly Social Security or SSI payment. Paper check EIPs will be mailed starting May 27.

Visit our website to learn about EIPs and representative payees. You can find the eligibility requirements and other information about the EIPs at the IRS’ Economic Impact Payment Information Center.

    Darlynda,

    Posting this as no one seems to want to help. IRS does not have sufficient information to resolve problems. I have entered my CORECT information on the Get My Payment many times and still get the message that my information does not match theirs. This is extremely frustrating fo thousands of eligible recipients. I have been getting SSI since 1991 and as of May 24, 2020 I have not received my payment!
    Please help Thousands of us!

      Hi I am in the same boat I entered my information numerous time it was correct each time getting the same message you got and locked out this portal doesn’t work for me and it’s not reliable very frustrating and everything is a big mess with irs they keep switching the pay dates for ssi representative payees, ssdi, retired railroads, veterans. Some people asking about a second stimulus check when alot of us still have not gotten our first one!!!! We are still waiting congress passed this bill way in march no second stimulus checks need to be passed until everyone get theirs that’s entitled to the first one!!!! Irs need to get their s””””””” together!!!! And give us our money the ones who have not gotten their stimulus checks yet!!!!

    I can’t get any response to my phone calls , I get SSI and everyone around me has gotten theirs but me . We don’t live on air and being jerked around like this is cruel I can’t get any help from a real life human and feel very defeated .

      please let me know if disabled veterans and disabled seniors receive another check?

      • Becca

        Congress has not looked at the Bill sent from the House. Don’t count on a second check anytime soon.
