Will I need to file taxes to receive 2021 stimulus, if all my 2020 income was from SSI (not SSA, social security) and a $1200 Stimulus check?

In 2020, I received
- Supplemental Security Income SSI. (Please note: Not Social Security Benefits nor SSA).
- Stimulus check of $1200.
That's all.

In 2021, will I need to file taxes to get 2021 stimulus?

Thanks.

The IRS will determine eligibility based on your last tax return (either 2019 or 2020) and will likely send your payment to the bank account where your tax refund was deposited. For more information please see this TurboTax Help article: How will the third stimulus impact me?
