3/31/2021 IRS projects stimulus payments to non-filer Social Security and other federal beneficiaries will be disbursed later this w… U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY IRS projects stimulus payments to non-filer Social Security and other federal beneficiaries will be disbursed later this week March 30, 2021 WASHINGTON – As work continues on issuing millions of Economic Impact Payments to Americans, the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department announced today that they anticipate payments will begin to be issued this weekend to Social Security recipients and other federal beneficiaries who do not normally file a tax return, with the projection that the majority of these payments would be sent electronically and received on April 7. A er receiving data from the Social Security Administration on Thursday, March 25, the IRS began the multi-step process to review, validate, and test tens of millions of records to ensure eligibility and proper calculation of Economic Impact Payments. If no additional issues arise, the IRS currently expects to complete that work and to begin processing these payment files at the end of this week. Because the majority of these payments will be disbursed electronically – through direct deposits and payments to existing Direct Express cards – they would be received on the o icial payment date of April 7. Many federal beneficiaries who filed 2019 or 2020 returns or used the Non-Filers tool last year were issued Economic Impact Payments, if eligible, during the last three weeks. The update today applies to Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) beneficiaries who did not file a 2019 or 2020 tax return or did not use the Non-Filers tool. The Get My Payment tool is updated for eligible individuals once their payment is processed. The IRS notes that the Get My Payment tool on IRS.gov will not be updated until the weekend of April 3-4 with information for federal beneficiaries expecting payments next week. The IRS continues to review data received for Veterans A airs (VA) benefit recipients and expects to determine a payment date and provide more details soon. Currently, the IRS estimates that Economic Impact Payments for VA beneficiaries who do not regularly file tax returns could be disbursed by mid-April. VA beneficiary payment information will be available in the Get My Payment tool at a future date. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0087 1/2 3/31/2021 IRS projects stimulus payments to non-filer Social Security and other federal beneficiaries will be disbursed later this w… Additional information on these payments was also released today on IRS.gov. ### https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0087 2/2
