Press Release
The Commissioner at Internal Revenue Service, Mr. Chuck Rettig, shared his thoughts on IRS Plus $500 Push to the Economic Impact Payments of SSA and RRB recipients and said,
We want to ‘Plus $500’ these recipients with children so they can get their maximum Economic Impact Payment of $1,200 plus $500 for each eligible child as quickly as possible. They’ll get $1,200 automatically, but they need to act quickly and register at IRS.gov to get the extra $500 per child added to their payment. These groups don’t normally have a return filing obligation and may not realize they qualify for a larger payment. We’re asking people and organizations throughout the country to share this information widely and help the IRS with the Plus $500 Push.
Special Alert for Benefits Recipients to Receive Full Economic Impact Payment with $500 per Eligible Child
The IRS will issue $1,200 Economic Impact Payment of several groups of federal benefit recipients very soon. The IRS further says that the recipients can also add the $500 per eligible child amount to these payments. In order to do so, the recipients are required to provide dependent information to the IRS before the payments are issued. Otherwise, at the time of Economic Impact Payment, they will only get $1,200. Moreover, the additional $500 per eligible child amount would be paid in association with a return filing for tax year 2020, as per the law.
This is the result of far-reaching work by the IRS as well as other U.S. government agencies that $1,200 automatic payments will soon be received by federal benefits recipients. Those will receive payments soon include Social Security retirement, survivor or disability benefits (SSDI), Railroad Retirement benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Veterans Affairs beneficiaries who did not file a tax return in the last two years i.e. 2018 and 2019. The IRS assures that individuals in these groups are not required to take any action as they will receive their $1,200 payment automatically. For benefits recipients to receive full Economic Impact Payment with $500 per eligible child is a remarkable relief by U.S. government.
