Most United States citizens who collect a Social Security check are not required to send a Tax Return to the IRS. However, doing so can have certain advantages, since we can obtain a Tax Refund that can help us improve our household finances.
In the event that we have outstanding benefits from the IRS, it is possible to get a check if we are collecting Social Security. Even if we did not send in the Tax Return this year or in previous years, the Economic Income Payments may still come to us.
Who can get the extra money from the IRS with Social Security?
The truth is that many more United States citizens get Economic Income Payments than we think. Thousands of citizens collecting Social Security can get one of these payments from the IRS to supplement their benefit.
Social Security beneficiaries who are not typically required to file tax returns will not need to file to receive an economic impact payment. It’s automatic. More information from #IRS at https://t.co/hEEWmgHA9V #COVIDreliefIRS pic.twitter.com/JFeK2ekpUe

This stimulus check started being sent out some time ago and most of the checks have reached their recipients. But the IRS is still sending some of this money to eligible recipients. So if you are eligible to get the check very soon you will have it in your pocket.
However, as of today it is not possible to check where our money is through Get My Payment. In order to find out if we have access to this check or not we will have to make use of an online IRS account. These types of accounts are free and we can find out if we will get the Social Security supplement.
When does the next Social Security check arrive in April?
In the month of April the Social Security Administration will send out a new check on the 10th day of March. This check has nothing to do with the upcoming IRS payment, so we can get both checks without any problems.
In case we have the retirement benefit as of May 1997 we could get this new payment. Besides that, it is also mandatory to have a birthday between the 1st and 10th of any month.
Only then we would get the check of up to $4,873 on the next 10th day of March. However, for the IRS stimulus check it is not necessary to have applied for Social Security at a certain time or meet any other requirements.
