Why has there not been an update on my Stimulus check yet I'm on SSDi And my husband is on SSI

If your SSDI and SSI payments are direct deposited in your accounts, then that is the way you should receive your stimulus payments. Are you tracking them using the stimulus portal? Get My Payment | Internal Revenue Service

The stimulus check rules can be a little different for people who receive SSI and SSDI.

It's now up to the IRS to start sending out the third stimulus checks of up to $1,400 per person to the nearly 30 million eligible people who receive Social Security benefits. Now that the agency has the payment files it had been waiting on from the Social Security Administration, it can start processing the new stimulus checks on behalf of people who receive federal income benefits and their dependents. We're still waiting for the IRS to announce an official date for sending the stimulus checks to people receiving Supplemental Security Income, Social Security Disability Insurance and veteran benefits -- but it could happen with a third wave of checks.

The IRS receives information from the Social Security Administration (SSA) for those recipients of social security and/or supplemental security income.  This is used to determine who will get the third stimulus.

However, if someone who receives this type of payment and therefore may not be required to file a tax return, the third stimulus for a dependent would not be received because the IRS would not know this information.  For this reason, a tax return should be filed for 2020.  

If there is no dependent for a taxpayer on this income, then it's not absolutely necessary to file a return.  The timeframe for the receipt of the third stimulus is dependent on the SSA and IRS.

Keep in mind, this year has brought challenges. The IRS is required to reconcile the tax returns and stimulus payments as well as working on the third stimulus payments due to the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).  With the tax season and the changes taking place all at once, a delay should be expected for full payments. They want to be diligent and are required to follow any protocols they have been issued.  They will make any adjustments and additional payments as they complete the process.
