On April 1, 2020 the U.S. Department of Treasury declared that Social Security recipients who do not typically file tax returns will not need to file any type of tax return in order to receive a stimulus check.
You may be wondering how the IRS will have the information needed to receive a stimulus check without a tax return. The IRS will use the information from an individual’s SSA-1099 and RRB-1099.
Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) will be distributed via direct deposit or by paper check, depending on how you typically receive your Social Security benefits.
