Thank you for posting this.

I read about it earlier in The Hill but it is of great help to those here on SS and those who have parents on SS who don’t file taxes.

What a relief.

I would have had to do it for mom

IRS has already updated their coronavirus webpage to reflect the new information about social security recipients:

If your mom already gets a Social Security check, why would she need an additional $1200?

My gut says that someone at the IRS assumed that this stimulus would follow the same procedure as Obama's stimulus in 2008.

This latest Stimulus Pkg itself says SS folks do not have to file...and that they will use the SSA-1099's. It's right in the text.

Yes indeed, true conservatives should send it back, with additional money to help pay down the national debt.

Hopefully, before the IRS issues it’s payments, they will check their potential payments against Social Security’s “death file” and not issue payments to those whose death has been recorded. And the Social Security Administration will “check” and not issue DUPLICATE payments to those who have already had payments made by the IRS (assuming, of course, that the IRS pays first) and to not issue a payment to someone who had not received a payment from the IRS because of excess income.

SSA-1099’s are not enough by themselves as they don’t contain the direct deposit information; SSA-1099’s just prove one has a SS number, so the IRS also has to access the direct deposit info the Social Security Administration maintains, which shouldn’t be a big deal ... cheaper than setting up some whole new procedure to get that information ...

it’s REALLY tough for most people to live off of just SS ...

yep, all of those things need to be done ... shouldn’t take that many lines of new code to make those kinds of checks for duplicates ...

Does this also go for the SSI recipients ?

A large percentage of them are undocumented asylum seekers. For some of them not speaking english makes them eligible for SSI disability.
