On 10 April 2020, the IRS released a new electronic portal to assist people on SSI, recipients of certain VA benefits, and other non-filers in receiving their stimulus payments.

For instance, a veteran whose only income is a veterans’ disability payment is eligible as long as they are not the dependent of another taxpayer. See non-filer instructions below.
