GREENSBORO, N.C. — The details are still being figured out, but at this point, it appears recipients of social security, disability and SSI will get stimulus checks.
As of right now, social security benefit recipients and social security disability, as well as supplemental social security recipients, are entitled to the stimulus payment,” explains financial expert Scott Braddock.
Most adults will get about $1,200. There’s an additional $500 for each child under the age of 16.
You could get less if you make over $75,000 as a single person and $150,000 as a married couple. The government knows how much you make, based on your 2018 or 2019 tax returns.

But Cheryl wrote me saying, “I'm a 70-year-old and the last 3 years we did not have to file taxes. When the stimulus check goes out, do me and my husband get one?”
The short answer at this time is, YES! But you'll need to file a 2019 return to get the check.
