Here’s When Coronavirus Checks Will Come If You Get Social Security, SSI

Coronavirus relief checks began arriving in bank accounts in mid-April.

When you will get your coronavirus Check if you are on Social Security or SSI

If you’re receiving Social Security or SSI benefits and filed a tax return for 2018 or 2019, you may have already received a payment for coronavirus last week when the IRS started making them through direct deposit. Otherwise, here’s what you can expect.

Those who receive a paper check wait longer: The IRS will begin sending out checks the week of April 20, starting with those with incomes below $ 10,000. Each week, it will send five million more checks to increasingly higher income groups.
