We just received confirmation that there is a new IRS deadline for Pennsylvanians with disabilities and their children (Thread) https://www.ssa.gov/news/press/releases/2020/?fbclid=IwAR3p-1PG_oE64PQ1YTFs0ZXp8xbS4NO2-B1HjDpKdm849i5FcMd64tcaP6M#4-2020-4

People receiving disability income, who have dependents, will have to fill out a form by WEDNESDAY 4/22 AT NOON to get their full stimulus payment from the government, which is $1,200 for adults and $500 for each dependent child under the age of 17.

If you receive disability income, have children under the age of 17, and have not filed taxes in the last two years, you need to fill out this form in order to get these benefits this year. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here?fbclid=IwAR3Ws97a2HtCd3dh6uYfUWR8qEOHcc7D5EuS_ilmXyimbCZgt9G7H6HBtmU

If you do not file this form, you will still receive the $1200 stimulus payment for you, automatically. But you will not be able to get the $500 child stimulus payment until you file your taxes in 2021.

If you need assistance, please call our office at 610-626-2020.
