With the second stimulus check, Congress cast a wide net for who would qualify for the up to $600 per person in government relief money. If you participate in SSI or SSDI programs — short for the Supplemental Security Income or Social Security Disability Insurance programs — the IRS has said you should automatically be eligible to receive the second stimulus check.

Just days after the new checks were signed into law, The IRS and Treasury began making payments of up to $600 per person through direct deposit, paper check and EIP card — here’s how to estimate your second stimulus check total, the IRS’ stimulus check formula and how to know which stimulus payment group you’re in.

But what about the talk in December of $2,000 payments? Those are not happening, as of now. The last Senate didn’t vote on any bill to replace the $600 stimulus check with a $2,000 sum before it adjourned. The new Senate and House were sworn in Jan. 3. There’s still a chance that a third stimulus check will happen in early 2021, along with other provisions in a larger stimulus bill. But until that discussion, here’s what you should know about how SSI and SSDI affect the second stimulus check.

SSI, SSDI and second stimulus payment eligibility

The question of who will qualify for a second stimulus payment is mostly the same as for the first round of payments back in March with the CARES Act. That means if you’re part of the SSI or SSDI program, you’d qualify for a check just like you did in the first round, so long as you have a Social Security number and you aren’t claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

Also, your household income mustn’t exceed the threshold ($75,000 single, $112,500 head of household, $150,000 married). Those receiving Railroad Retirement and Veterans Affairs benefits also should automatically qualify for a payment. Note that because of some fairy complex math in the stimulus check formula, fewer people in general will receive a (smaller) stimulus check this time around.

Do you have to do anything to get your new stimulus payment?

According to the IRS, people who receive Social Security retirement, SSDI, Railroad Retirement benefits and Supplemental Security Income as well as Veterans Affairs beneficiaries are automatically eligible for a payment. The IRS has begun sending payments now and will continue through Jan. 15. After that point, you’d need to register for a Recovery Rebate Credit as part of this year’s tax season. We’ve reached out to the IRS for further clarification.

If you missed the deadline to file a claim for the first stimulus check, it’s not too late

If you receive SSI or SSDI but still haven’t gotten a stimulus check from the first round, the IRS may still need more information about your eligibility. To receive your money, you’ll need to claim the additional amount when you file your taxes, using the Recovery Rebate Credit. The IRS said it’ll provide more details on the specific action to take as we get closer to the tax filing deadline in 2021.

What if you didn’t file a tax return the last few years?

If you receive federal benefits, including SSI and SSDI, as your only form of income, you weren’t required to file a federal income tax return in 2018 or 2019. Under the CARES Act, you were still eligible to receive a stimulus check, and should’ve received one automatically (no need to file a simple tax return, as the IRS had originally said).

How is stimulus money delivered to you?

Most SSI and SSDI recipients didn’t receive their first payments via their Direct Express card, though this is usually what the government uses to distribute federal benefits. Instead, the payment arrived through a non-Direct Express bank account or as a paper check if you didn’t have your bank account information on file with the IRS.

This time around, the IRS says on its website that SSI and SSDI recipients should expect to get their stimulus check money the same way they receive their first stimulus checks, possibly faster, as the IRS already has the payment system set up. For who received the first round of payments via Direct Express, they will receive this second payment the same way, the IRS said.

Are children eligible for the second stimulus check?

As long as your children are 16 years old or younger, they’ll contribute $600 toward the final total of your household’s second stimulus check. You can use our stimulus check calculator to figure your family’s total estimate.

Under the CARES Act, qualified people with dependents age 16 or younger were eligible for up to $500 per child dependent, but not everyone actually received that extra money. The last day to claim your missing payment and receive it in 2020 was Nov. 21. The IRS said that if you missed the deadline, you can claim the missing payment during tax season in 2021. Here’s who the IRS counts as an adult to receive their own stimulus check.

What if you didn’t get your first stimulus payment?

If your first payment didn’t come already and you registered with the Non-Filers tool by Nov. 21, 2020, the IRS says, you should’ve received the payment by now, specifically in December 2020. If you missed the Nov. 21 cutoff, the IRS says, you can receive your payment in 2021 when you file your federal tax return. Here’s what we know about how to track the status of your second stimulus check — and the first, if it’s missing.

Will you get the catch-up money for dependents?

If you used the IRS’ Non-Filers tool from May 5 through Aug. 15 of 2020, the IRS should’ve automatically issued the catch-up payment for your dependents in October. If you received your original stimulus money by direct deposit, you should’ve gotten the catch-up payment the same way. Others would’ve received it in the mail.

If you filed for your missing dependent money by Nov. 21, the payment should’ve arrived by the end of 2020, in the same way you received your first payment (likely direct deposit or by mail). If you missed the deadline, your check will be included on your 2020 tax return in 2021.

To check the status of your or your dependent’s payment, use the IRS’ online tool to track it. You should also get a letter in the mail letting you know that an additional $500 per qualifying child has been issued.

What about SSI and SSDI recipients outside the US?

If you’re a Social Security beneficiary with a foreign address whose monthly benefit is deposited into a foreign bank account, you’ll receive your stimulus payment as a check in the mail (the IRS isn’t meant to deposit money into foreign banks). The IRS planned to start sending those checks at the end of July 2020. If you live abroad but receive your monthly benefits through a US bank, you should’ve received your payment by direct deposit to that account by the end of July as well.
