On Social Security? How to Get Your Stimulus Check
The coronavirus pandemic has stricken hundreds of thousands of people worldwide, including thousands of deaths from the disease. Moreover, even among those who don't have the COVID-19 disease, economic hardships from work shutdowns and stay-at-home orders are creating huge financial uncertainty for millions more. In an effort to ease the monetary challenges from the crisis, the federal government decided to pay most Americans a stimulus check to help them make ends meet in these tough times.
However, there's been a lot of uncertainty about how checks will get to those in need. Especially among those who are on Social Security and often don't make enough money to have to file tax returns, many feared that they'd get left out of the initial distributions of stimulus checks. More recently, though, the Treasury has given some details about how those on Social Security will be able to get the coronavirus stimulus checks that they're entitled to receive. Here, we'll look at the current plan and what you can do to ensure that you'll get a check.
