The IRS says:

 

If you did not file a tax return and you receive SSA, RRB, SSI or VA benefits and your benefits are currently deposited to a Direct Express card, then your 2021 Economic Impact Payment will be deposited to that card. The bank information shown in Get My Payment will be a number associated with your Direct Express card and may be a number you don’t recognize.

 

The above is an extract of this IRS FAQ.

Then how does he receive the benefits?

He recieves it through a check just like he recieved the last 2 stimulus so im not sure why they have an account up there when he never filed taxes or anything
