Will SSI recipients who are claimed as dependents receive stimulus check?

Will people on SSI get the child tax credit?

No. Receiving Child Tax Credit payments will not change the amount you receive in other Federal benefits like unemployment insurance, Medicaid, SNAP, SSI, TANF, WIC, Section 8, SSDI or Public Housing. The Child Tax Credit is not considered income for any family. So, these programs do not view tax credits as income.

How are Social Security benefits calculated for a dependent child?

Not all Social Security benefits are taxable.

If the total is more than $25,000, some of the child’s benefits may be taxable, and he may need to file his own tax return.
