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.
