Beginning today, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will issue Economic Impact Payments (EIP) to approximately 1.4 million SSI recipients with representative payees and 10.4 million Social Security beneficiaries with representative payees.

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.

    Hello, what should an organizational payee do if they receive a stimulus check direct deposited for a beneficiary that they are no longer representative payee for?
    I could not find any information on the IRS website for direct deposit scenarios, only for paper checks.
    Thanks,
    Dave

      Hello Dave, I happen to come across this reading last night. Direct deposits that are not yours are basically the same as paper check. You need to get a money order or check and mail it back to the IRS with your tax ID number or SS. Not sure in your situation, but hope that little info helped.

        Yes…it did. Thank you!

      Hi Dave, thank you for using our blog. The EIP belongs to the Social Security or SSI beneficiary. It is not a Social Security or SSI benefit. If unable to provide the EIP to the beneficiary, please contact the IRS hotline at 1-800-919-9835. Thanks!
