Deadline: Wednesday, Oct. 15th

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, 4.3 million Americans have yet to claim their economic stimulus payments from the government.

PHI encourages employers and advocates to reach out to seniors, people with disabilities, and low-income workers to ensure they get their checks. CPBB has outreach materials available.

The tax filing deadline to receive a stimulus check is October 15. The IRS website provides information on how to file, and includes answers to frequently asked questions. Even if your income is too low to owe taxes, you must file to receive a check. An easy online tool is available at both the AARP and National Council on Aging’s websites.

It provides simple, easy-to-understand instructions along with the ability to complete and print the IRS 1040A form, with instructions on where to mail it.

Times are tough all around with this uncertain economy, so there’s never been a better time to receive a stimulus check.
