“The IRS is not following the law - the law clearly states that the checks can be issued on social security information only.”

really? not a single other soul has claimed that ... you’ll need to provide a link to that information and/or quote that part of the bill here, otherwise we all can just assume you fabricated all of that ...

Can I just send a simple post card in to receive a check?

OK, pal, here ya go. Article describing the problem:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyphillipserb/2020/03/31/irs-adds-to-confusion-about-whether-seniors-have-to-file-tax-returns-to-get-stimulus-checks/?fbclid=IwAR3cjH0L1veZa2R3Bf7q26zp0-6qw-d9FrWE-gDOVjv_gd7CcQg6Lvrxp1k#3fd8768c52ad

Source documents -

IRS website:

I am not typically required to file a tax return. Can I still receive my payment?

Yes. People who typically do not file a tax return will need to file a simple tax return to receive an economic impact payment. Low-income taxpayers, senior citizens, Social Security recipients, some veterans and individuals with disabilities who are otherwise not required to file a tax return will not owe tax.

Here is the language from the law:

“if the individual has not filed a tax return for such individual’s first taxable year beginning in 2018, use information with respect to such individual for calendar year 2019 provided in— (i) Form SSA–1099, Social Security Benefit Statement, or (ii) Form RRB–1099, Social Security Equivalent Benefit Statement.”

OK, pal, so I've provided documentary proof and sources.

Now that I've proved my case, I ask YOU to prove: that you're not a poo-poo head.

Come on, pal, change my mind.

Besides twenty or more senators who have composed a letter to Mnuchin .. would you consider Senator Josh Hawley a person?

Josh Hawley

@HawleyMO
Despite language Congress passed in #COVIDー19 relief bill to ensure Social Security beneficiaries would NOT have to file taxes to receive direct relief, IRS issued guidance saying seniors DO have to file taxes. That’s ridiculous. IRS should follow the law that Congress passed
