What to Do If You’re Missing Economic Impact Payments
Reading Time: 1 MinuteLast Updated: May 4, 2021
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued the third round of Economic Impact Payments (EIP) in April. Most Social Security beneficiaries and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients should have received their EIPs by now. If you, your eligible spouse, or eligible dependent did not receive their EIP – or full amount of the EIP – for this round or any previous round of EIPs, please read this carefully. We have information to share from the IRS to help you get that money.
To get any missing first or second EIPs, you’ll need to file a 2020 tax return with the IRS and claim the 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit (RRC) as soon as possible. You would need to file the 2020 tax return even if you have no income to report for 2020. When your tax return is processed, the IRS will pay the RRC as a tax refund. The IRS will send you any additional third EIP amount you are eligible for in 2021 separately.
If you already filed your 2020 tax return, you don’t need to do anything else. You can visit our Economic Impact Payments and Tax Credits page to learn more. Please share this with your family and friends—and post it on social media to help us spread the word.
If you have questions about tax-related topics and economic impact payments, please contact the IRS.

I do not receive social security benefits yet, I will be applying in December 2021. I have not received any of the stimulus money that others have gotten. Mostly because I had not filed taxes. I did file my 2020 taxes but still unsure that I will get any of this so called economic help. As each stimulus package was sent out to others I felt slighted because even though it hadn’t filed my taxes I too was still being impacted by this pandemic. But I know on part it was my own doing.

**UPDATE** I have a payyee rep. And I also rent a private room from her house , BUT I PAY RENT AND MONEY TOWARDS MY UTILITIES COST. I also buy and prepare my own food and pay my own phone bill…Well I found out she tried claim me as her dependent on her taxes. So now I’m in the process of getting it unraveled !! Future reference though. IF YOU HAVE A PAYEE , THATS FINE BUT PAY ATTENTION SO YOU SONT PAY ALL YOUR OWN BILLS AND LIVING AND STILL HAVE SOMEONE WRONGFULLY CLAIM YOU
