What you need to do to get your government stimulus check
By SARAH SKIDMORE SELL AP Personal Finance Writer
As many Americans prepare to receive their economic impact checks from the government, the IRS has rescinded a recommendation that Social Security recipients file a tax return to get paid. Some other groups _ low income individuals, some veterans and people with disabilities _ will still have to file an abreviated tax return if they do not receive Social Security. The Treasury Department says checks should be in people’s hands in the next few weeks. The payments are part of the $2.2 trillion rescue package signed into law last week by President Donald Trump. Most people don’t need to do anything to get the money.
