Update: Cannot. Fucking. Win. Re: "Stimulus payment" for SS Recipients

25. The IRS site is definitely having issues...

From all I've been reading if you didn't need to file for the last 2 years but you get Soc Security (Retirement and Disability) the stimulus will be deposited into the same account where you normal monthly deposit goes within the next couple of weeks. If you had to file last or this year and have done do you'll probably get your funds this week like others who aren't on SS already are.

Here's a fairly clear write up that matches other info I've found so far...

Though 80 million Americans are expected to get their payments this week, others will be getting their checks later in the month and even further into the year. Here’s an estimated timetable, according to federal lawmakers, as of early April.

• The IRS plans to send the first wave of payments in the week starting April 13, according to an expected timeline from the House Ways and Means Committee.

The tax authority will transmit the payments via direct deposit, using the banking information it has on file for taxpayers’ 2018 or 2019 tax returns, the timetable said.

That first wave will include Social Security recipients who filed tax returns and included direct deposit information on their returns, according to the House Ways and Means’ estimated timeline.

• The second wave will go to Social Security recipients who did not file 2018 or 2019 returns and receive their benefits through direct deposit.

• In early May, the IRS will start mailing paper checks to households, at a rate of 5 million per week. The paper checks will first go to the households with the lowest adjusted gross incomes, and continue upwards.

It could take up to 20 weeks to mail out all those checks, according to the House Ways and Means’ timetable.

The process could be delayed for several days because President Donald Trump wants his signature to appear on those paper checks, according to a Washington Post report. The Treasury Department told the Washington Post there wouldn’t be any delay as a result of adding Trump’s signature.

The IRS FAQs has some good info too...

You will not be able to use Get My Payment to provide your bank account information because you did not file tax returns for 2018 or 2019.
