Social security recipients are on the list to receive a stimulus payment, deposited directly to the same bank account your social security payment is deposited. So, if you received an SSA-1099 form, you are already on the list to get a stimulus payment and don't need to do anything else.
Starting the TurboTax product did not affect your stimulus payment. Stimulus payments for some Social Security recipients are still in process.
I get SS and the $1200 stimulus went right into my bank account. This year, I am still waiting for the $600 stimulus. I no longer need to file income tax since SS is my only income.....should I be concerned that I have not gotten it yet.?
I do that and I keep getting the following message" Payment #2 Status - Not Available
We are unable to provide the status of your payment right now because:
We don't have enough information yet (we're working on this), or
You're not eligible for a payment.

not sure what I need to do..other than just sit tight and wait
Sit tight! We are happy to share that stimulus payments began to be deposited starting January 8th and will continue through January 15. Your payment will be deposited into the same bank account that you received your 2019 tax refund. As you did not have a 2019 refund, I am not sure how you are affected.

If for some reason you do not receive your stimulus, you can file a tax return. We are waiting for guidance on how that will work or if the IRS will open a portal for those like you that do not need to file. The IRS does not begin accepting returns until January 25 so all stimulus should have been received by then.
