Most US taxpayers will receive their Stimulus Checks automatically via direct deposit. The IRS has taxpayers information on file and can easily distribute funds electronically. US citizens who receive SSI typically do not file annually with the IRS. So how can they get their stimulus check?

The IRS has created a “Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info” portal on their website.

Who should use Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info to provide additional information to receive the Economic Impact Payment?

Eligible U.S. citizens or permanent residents who:

• Had gross income that did not exceed $12,200 ($24,400 for married couples) for 2019
• Were not otherwise required to file a federal income tax return for 2019, and didn’t plan to

Information You will Need to Provide

• Full name, current mailing address and an email address
• Date of birth and valid Social Security number
• Bank account number, type and routing number, if you have one
• Identity Protection Personal Identification Number (IP PIN) you received from the IRS earlier this year, if you have one
• Driver’s license or state-issued ID, if you have one
• For each qualifying child: name, Social Security number or Adoption Taxpayer Identification Number and their relationship to you or your spouse

You can provide the necessary information to the IRS easily and quickly for no fee through Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info. We will use this information to determine your eligibility and payment amount and send you an Economic Impact Payment. After providing this information you won’t need to take any additional action.
