Recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are starting to receive their third stimulus payments. (All U.S. citizens are entitled to the stimulus payments, along with a payment for each child.)

Can a person claim a stimulus payment if they are a dependent?

Yes, most likely. SSDI and SSI recipients are eligible for the stimulus payment unless claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return.

You’ll likely have to file a tax return to claim it, if the IRS follows the same pattern for missing stimulus check money as now (more info on this below). There’s no fourth stimulus check yet, but some are advocating for more direct payments to Americans.

Individuals who receive Social Security disability or SSI should automatically get the stimulus money.

For reference, the first stimulus check amounted to as much as $1,200, while the second stimulus check brought $600 to eligible Americans. The third stimulus check, which the IRS is still in the process of distributing, is worth up to $1,400 per person, although the eligibility requirements are narrower.

Where does the Stimulus money go if you are on SSI?

For some disability recipients who have representative payees, the IRS deposited the first stimulus payment into the representative payee’s bank account or sent the payee a check. But since the stimulus money isn’t a Social Security or SSI benefit, the representative payee is not responsible for managing it.
