Are you an SSA or RRB beneficiary with dependent children? Then, you have only until tomorrow at noon to file to get the additional $500 economic stimulus payment for dependents – or else you must wait until you file your 2020 tax return to get the money.
Do these three things apply to you? If so, you need to fill out a non-filer form NOW to get your full Economic Impact Payment.
- You are a recipient of Social Security Administration (SSA) or Railroad Retirement benefits (RRB)
- You have a dependent child or children under age 17
- You have not filed your taxes in 2018 or 2019
You must fill out this form by tomorrow, April 22nd by 12pm Eastern Standard Time, to receive your full payment now. If you miss this deadline, you will only receive the $1200 payment, not the additional $500 per dependent child under 17. Instead, you will need to wait to get the additional payment when you file your 2020 taxes.
We know this is a difficult financial time for many folks, so if this applies to you, we encourage you to act NOW.
