Stimulus Payments and Representative Payees: What You Need to Know
Under recent COVID-19 legislation, most people receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security are receiving stimulus payments of up to $1,200. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will begin issuing these payments to those who have a representative payee and did not file a tax return in 2018 or 2019 in late May 2020. This money belongs to the beneficiary, not the payee. Learn more about stimulus payments and representative payees in this article.
