It is still not certain when stimulus checks will arrive for those receiving EIP cards and SSDI and SSI benefits.
According to the Social Security page, a Q&A section will be added “soon.”
SSDI and SSI recipients could face even more complications as the checks arrive during tax season, especially if they have recently added a dependent in 2020.
Delays could also be caused if people stopped or started receiving SSI or SSDI in 2019 or 2020.
In addition older adults, income tax-non-filers, parents in a child-support situation, or mixed-status citizenship family members might also face hurdles.
It could take up to a few months for some people to receive the full payment.

For example if the IRS calculates one’s stimulus check based on their 2019 taxes but they are owed more based on their 2020 taxes, they would need to claim the amount later in the year.
Since last week more than 90million stimulus payments have been sent out to Americans.
Those eligible for the third stimulus payment have been told to keep an eye out for the envelope containing the money, either as a paper check or an EIP debit card.
And people have been advised to track their payments via the Internal Revenue Service’s Get My Payment tool.
Meanwhile, people might be able to get a Covid stimulus check from insurance companies as pressure has been mounting on providers.
