 TITLE: Best Ways to Use Your Stimulus Payment CONTENT: Am I Eligible for the Stimulus Payment?\n---------------------------------------\nU.S. residents with a Social Security number who made less than $99,000 (single filing) or $198,000 (joint filing) in their most recent 2019 or 2018 tax filing are eligible to receive a stimulus payment. The only exception is for young adults who were claimed as a dependent on someone else's taxes; they will not be eligible to receive a payment. Those who receive Social Security are eligible to receive the full payment, as long as their gross income does not exceed the income limits.\nYou do not have to apply or fill out any forms to receive the payment as long as you've recently filed taxes. The IRS is encouraging those who don't typically file taxes, such as low-income earners and some seniors, to file a \"simple\" tax return in order to receive payment. If you receive Social Security, however, you do not need to file; the payment will be sent automatically. END
