Section 2201 of the CARES Act provides recovery rebates for most individuals, structured as automatically advanced tax credits to be disbursed by the Treasury Department. This Insight addresses the recovery rebates from the perspective of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries.  \nOverview of the Recovery Rebates  \nEligible individuals can receive a recovery rebate of $1,200 per person ($2,400 for married joint filers) asan automatically advanced credit against their 2020 federal income tax liability via direct deposit or a check by mail. Eligible individuals can also receive an additional $500 for each eligible child under 17 years old who qualifies for the child tax credit.  \nThe recovery rebate is reduced by $5 for every $100 of adjusted gross income (AGI) above $75,000 for individuals, $112,500 for heads of households, and $150,000 for married joint filers. Consequently, therebate is not payable to individuals (with no eligible children) with AGI above $99,000 or married joint filers (with no eligible children) with AGI above $198,000 . A married couple with two eligible children is ineligible for the rebate with AGI above $218,000 .  \nThe recovery rebate is to be automatically advanced to eligible individuals in 2020 based on their 2019 federal income tax return. For eligible individuals who did not file a 2019 return, the rebate is to be automatically advanced based on 2018 return information. For eligible individuals who were Social Security or Railroad Retirement beneficiaries in 2019 and who were not required to file a federal tax  \nCongressional Research Service  \n[https://crsreports.congress.gov](https://crsreports.congress.gov)[ ](https://crsreports.congress.gov)IN11290  \nreturn because their incomes were below the filing threshold, the law permits a 2019 Social Security Benefit Statement or Railroad Retirement Benefit Statement to be used instead (discussed below) .  \nNonresident aliens, individuals who could be claimed as a dependent by another taxpayer, and estates or trusts are ineligible for the recovery rebate. Taxpayers must provide a Social Security number (SSN) for themselves, their spouse (if married filing jointly), and any child for whom they claim the $500 child credit, with some exceptions for adopted children and military families.  \nThe recovery rebate is not subject to federal income tax. As with any tax refund under current law, therebate is not treated as income, or as a resource for a 12-month period, in determining an individual ’s eligibility or assistance amount under any federally funded public program.  \nRebates for Social Security Beneficiaries and the Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099)  \nAll Social Security beneficiaries—retired workers, disabled workers, eligible family members, and survivors—are eligible for the recovery rebate unless they are claimed as a dependent on a taxpayer ’s return or do not meet the other eligibility requirements. (The term Social Security beneficiaries includes Social Security Disability Insurance [SSDI] beneficiaries.)  \nFor eligible Social Security beneficiaries who filed a federal income tax return for 2018 or 2019, therebate is to be automatically advanced to them in 2020 using the information from their last return. For those eligible Social Security beneficiaries who did not file a tax return for 2018 or 2019 and who received Social Security benefits in 2019, the CARES Act permits the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to use the information from their 2019 Social Security Benefit Statement (Form SSA-1099) instead.
