Question about stimulus check and Social Security

[madamesilverspurs]

I keep seeing articles about stimulus checks going to Social Security recipients (like me), but those articles don't agree on whether or not we have to file any paperwork in order to receive the checks. My SS check has been direct deposit for years, but so far there's no sign of any stimulus deposit.

So, does anyone know for sure -- Do I have to file some paperwork to get the check?

Thanks~

1. It looks like my SS disability and stimulus check showed up last night. My credit union

online is getting slammed so hard that I can only get to a page that shows the balance of my checking and savings. It's the right amount to have gotten both payments. I didn't expect both today.

No extra paperwork.

5. Official IRS information (any other information e.g. news articles, opinions...)

may be outdated or just plain wrong and I've seen plenty of both.

If you receive these benefits, we already have your information and you will receive $1,200.

Social Security retirement, disability (SSDI), or survivor benefits

7. No, if you have direct deposit they know exactly where to send the money.

If you get paper check, those will be sent May 1st and after. I also get ss and I haven't got mine. From what I understand they will sending ss recipients in the next round of stimulus money.

9. I saw that too..but no mention of when second round would start..

10. unless you are considered "unable to confirm eligibility"

...and that is happening to some people who have been SS recipients for decades now.

You do not have to file paperwork, they say.

11. It should be coming in, just like my mom's

She called her bank, and while it wasn’t pending, the bank said it should still come in within a few days. Citizens Bank is terrible. So slow.
