Economic Impact Payments [1], also called COVID-19 stimulus checks, will soon be distributed by the federal
government to all Americans according to tiered income bracket qualifications. The stimulus payments are automatic for most taxpayers; no further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019 and most seniors and retirees. However, non-tax filers in 2018 or 2019 who do not already receive Social Security benefits must register here [2] in order to receive their Economic Impact Payment.
Separately, filers who need to update direct deposit information can do so here [3] once the link is live mid-April.
