At this time there is no way to file a "simple" return and if you have no dependents to claim and you have SS benefits you do NOT need to file anything ... see this article :
Press reports from yesterday are the direct deposits are now expected to occur between April 9 and April 14 for taxpayers with those on social security (and no tax return) to follow in the two weeks after that..
The checks will then be issued BASED ON YOUR INCOME beginning April 24. They will be processed in $10,000 earnings increments weekly. So those with incomes below $10,000 would receive then beginning April 24, those with $20,000 earnings would be expected to receive them the week of May 1, etc.
this is the best article I've read on the plan from a reputable source
