Getting Your Federal Stimulus Check: Information and Resources

Overview

The Internal Revenue Service is sending ‘Economic Impact Payments’ to American households. Please check out the special IRS website at www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments.

Even if you don’t make enough money to file a federal tax return, you are probably eligible for an Economic Impact Payment. For special information for non-filers, please visit www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here.

For more information on tax relief and Economic Impact Payments, please visit www.irs.gov/coronavirus-tax-relief-and-economic-impact-payments.

A group of non-profit Connecticut legal aid organizations has also posted helpful information at www.CTLawHelp.org/coronavirus.

**Please note: receiving your Economic Impact Payment will NOT affect your eligibility for Medicaid/HUSKY Health, SNAP or other DSS programs.
