20200608 Economic Impact Payments to non-IRS filers ( aka homeless )

The IRS is issuing Economic Impact Payments to every eligible American.
We need your help to reach individuals who do not normally file because they do not have enough income that requires them to file. This includes the homeless, unbanked, certain seniors and some limited English-proficient individuals who will need to provide information to the IRS to get their Economic Impact Payment. If possible, those individuals can use the IRS free online tool to sign up to get an Economic Impact Payment: www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

Some individuals may not have internet capability, a bank account or a permanent address. These citizens may need additional assistance claiming their Economic Impact Payment. Feel free to contact me and we can discuss solutions that may be available in your area

Payments are Automatic for Many Federal Beneficiaries (such as:) SSA, SSI, RRB and VA: For those receiving Social Security retirement, survivor or disability benefits (SSDI), Railroad Retirement benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Veterans Affairs benefits who didn't file a tax return in the last two years, no action is needed; they will automatically receive their $1,200 payment.

We need your help sharing information with those that will not automatically receive their payment and may not know they are eligible for the payment.

We have included information for you to share with your clients and fellow outreach partners. Please let us know the results of your outreach efforts.

More information is being added to IRS.gov/coronavirus. You can find additional marketing materials and answers to frequently asked questions at IRS.gov/eippartners. Please follow the IRS Social Media accounts to receive the latest information that the IRS shares.
