Once Fallen: Apply for benefits
Since many of us work in groups that assist registered persons, it is important to pass along information about the COVID-19 stimulus checks.
The only requirements for getting a check is a valid social security number, being at least age 18, not being claimed as a dependent, and making less than $75k/yr to get a $1200 check. There are NO restrictions due to being a registered citizen. A registrant who just got out of prison can get a check. A homeless person can collect a check.
If you’ve filed taxes in 2018 or 2019, or you collect Social Security (including SSDI and SSI) and have direct deposit, there’s nothing you have to do, you’ll get it deposited into your bank account. If you’ve done none of these, then the IRS will need your info so you can get your stimulus check.
The IRS has finally gotten around to creating a page to collect that info. Go to the web link below then click on the big blue button that says “Non-Filers, Enter Payment Info Here.” https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here
Please make your followers aware of this because there is plenty of false information out there. Recently released registrants should be able to get a check. Of course, if they don’t want the money, they can always donate to one of our activist groups but I’m sure many registrants could use all of that money for immediate needs.

Thanks Derek!
What about for 100% Service Connected Disabled Veterans?
Carey,
if you have a social security number and earn under 75k you will receive it. also, this is not taxed and you won’t have to claim it next year
Thanks very much for the info, Derek. Also, at https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments there are two options: the one that you mentioned for non-filers, and another one for folks who have filed within the last two years, but the IRS does not have the correct direct deposit info. The latter option won’t be available until next week sometime, but will let you indicate whether you want a check or will allow you to specify your direct deposit info if it’s not already on file with the IRS. It also lets you check the progress of your rebate payment. My last refund was in 2017, and that tax return showed my old, now-closed checking account. So, I’m hoping to update my account info next week before the IRS tries to deposit into that old account (even though they shouldn’t try) or sends me a check, weeks from now, that ends up lost in the mail or something.
The Get My Payment feature went “live” this morning, so I tried to use it and got rejected, for an unknown reason, after entering all of the data required. So, maybe has some bugs, hopefully wasn’t hacked, and likely just typical PoS service from the government. I may have to wait months now for a check with the Dear Leader’s name emblazoned on it.
Thank you FAC for getting out this valuable information.
