Economic impact payment and mixed immigration status filing

Hello,

 

I am a US citizen married to a nonresident with a pending green card application. We are making the election to treat my husband as a US resident for tax purposes and filing as "married filling jointly."

 

I received the 2021 EIP payment, I have entered this information in and the software shows that my husband qualifies for a payment as well. However,  I don't know he qualifies for this, we are electing him to be treated as a US resident for tax purposes and he does have a social security number. Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

 

Thank you!
