The IRS began rolling out economic impact payments this month, delivering financial relief to the majority of Americans. If you haven’t received your payment yet, you may have a number of questions, including whether you qualify and how much you’re eligible to receive.
If you don’t typically file taxes because of your income or because you receive certain benefits, you may still need to submit your information to the IRS, and there’s an online portal for non-filers to help you through this process.
For example, if you’re a veteran or SSI beneficiary with dependents under 17, you must provide your information by Tuesday, May 5, at noon EST in order to receive $500 per dependent in 2020. Otherwise, you may be eligible to receive this money with next year’s tax return.

 Again, if you fall into one of these categories, you may still need to take action:
- You didn’t file a 2018 or 2019 tax return because of your income level; or
- You weren’t required to file a tax return because you received Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or VA benefits – but you have dependents under 17 and you’d like to receive your additional payment
