Recipients of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will both automatically receive COVID-19 relief, the IRS recently announced.
Veterans and their beneficiaries who receive VA compensation and pension benefits will receive a $1,200 Economic Impact Payment with no further action needed on their part. The IRS is still determining the timing for payments.
SSI recipients will also receive a $1,200 Economic Impact Payment without the need for further action. The IRS plans to send these payments to recipients no later than early May.
