Anyone know if SSI recipients will get a stimulus check?

[vlyons]

I'm retired and my only income is my SSI check. Anyone know if we retirees will automatically get a stimulus check?

thanks

1. Good news for many ...

If you are receiving Social Security benefits but didn’t file taxes in 2018 or 2019, you would be eligible to receive a stimulus check for $1200 one-time without a tax return based on data available to the IRS from your annual Social Security benefits statement. The government would send you a check using the information from your Form SSA-1099 Social Security Benefit Statement or your Form RRB-1099 Social Security Equivalent Benefit Statement. You would not have to file a 2019 tax return to get a stimulus check.

9. If your SS income is direct-deposited

your "stimulus" money will be also.

3. What I read said it was $600. I'll take it and get some pot.

8. I think the Dems fixed that...

that was the original Repub proposal, but I think it got fixed.

Or at least I hope so.

11. It's $1,200. $600 was an earlier proposal.

14. It is 1200- at one time they were talking about 600

The final bill, thanks to the Dems have it at 1200

4. I'm wondering about the same thing, but I believe SSDI recipients will get it

I’m curious to see if my kids will get a stimulus payout through my SSDI dependent benefits or through my ex-wife and her tax filings. She claims them as dependents when she does her taxes.

7. Its rigged in some way to IRS filing.

13. People claimed as dependents will not get a check

12. Yes, you will get 1200 just like everyone else
