I have no 2019 tax to file I haven't worked, I did file my 2018 taxes.

It depends.

If you filed your 2018 tax return, your stimulus check will probably be issued based upon that information.

Please be aware that specific guidance has not been provided as far as how the stimulus checks will be sent out.  

Please refer to the IRS link below for updates regarding any tax relief.

@marywilsonl What is your question?   Are you trying to ask if you can get the stimulus checks?   If you receive Social Security benefits then you should have automatically received the stimulus checks.There have been three.  The first one was in 2020 for $1200 for adults and $500 for their dependent children under the age of 17.  The 2nd one was in either late 2020 or for some people early 2021 and it was $600 for adults and $600 for their dependent children under the age of 17.   The 3rd one was issued by the IRS in 2021 and it was for $1400 for adults and $1400 for any dependents that they claimed.

If you did not receive the 1st and/or 2nd checks you need to file a 2020 tax return and use the recovery rebate credit to get the stimulus money.    If you did not receive the 3rd one you need to file a return for 2021 and use the recovery rebate credit to get that one as part of a refund for 2021.

If someone else could claim you as a dependent then you are not eligible to receive the stimulus checks.

Do you need help with filing a return for 2020 or for 2021?
