If you are an SSI recipient with children under 17, or an SSDI recipient with children under 17 and did not file a 2018 or 2019 tax return, you should go to this IRS webpage and enter information about your child(ren) to receive the extra $500 per child economic impact payment from the government. If you have no children you do not need to take any action to receive your $1200 individual payment:

If you receive SSI, or SSDI and have Medicaid, and you collect unemployment along with the extra $600 weekly unemployment payments you should consider opening up an ABLE account so the excess funds do not count as a resource.
