I am on SSI/SSDI and have direct deposit do I need to do anything to get my stimulus?

[DisabledGeek89]

Still has not determined my eligibility ?

 

[quincy]

Hang in there. Those who are receiving stimulus dollars based on SSA direct deposit data could be near the last on the list of recipients - for no reason that I have been able to discern.

 

[DisabledGeek89]

I heard I might not get it if I am claimed as a dependent? That true?

Yes. That’s true.

Its true that you will NOT get it if you were claimed as a dependent.

I am sorry that you have been waiting with bated breath for a deposit that is not going to come. The IRS site has flaws but you should have been able to determine your eligibility from the information the IRS provided on their site.

Sorry, DisabledGeek.

And it surprises me that there hasn't been any press coverage on this issue.

An adult child that is not capable of living alone because of a disability NO CHECK.
An adult capable of working and chooses not to $1200.

Some adults who choose not to work do so because of the health risk, to themselves or to the vulnerable living in their households.

The person who claimed DisabledGeek as a dependent should receive an additional $500 in stimulus money.

I'm not talking about those that have decided not to work because of the virus. I'm talking about those that have done so as a life choice.

And you are incorrect that the person that claims and adult child as a dependant gets the $500, they don't. Only children 17 and younger qualify for it.

The IRS site doesn’t make the $500 clear. It says those who claim dependents are eligible for the additional money.

For comments about the $1200 being disbursed to non-working adults, let’s leave discussion of that to a different section of the forum.

I'm not really concerned about those that don't work and get the checks.

My problem is with the fact that parents who didn't kick their disabled kids out once they turned 18 don't.

I guess I haven’t researched all of the eligibility requirements. I am sure there were some who should have been included who weren’t and some who should not have been included who were.

This was not a perfect plan by any measure.

It states that the $500 is for "...qualifying children (within the meaning of section 24(c)) of the taxpayer."


https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/24

(c) Qualifying childFor purposes of this section—
(1)In general
The term "qualifying child" means a qualifying child of the taxpayer (as defined in section 152(c)) who has not attained age 17.

So, yes, the bill itself makes it clear that the $500 payment is for dependent children who are 16 and younger (although, the exact date used to determine the age isn't clear).

That’s too bad. I wonder if that was an oversight or an intentional exclusion.

It is my understanding that it was intentional.
