No - if you are receiving any money from any Social Security program you do not need to file anything to receive your stimulus check. It will be sent to you automatically, the same way you are receiving your SSDI benefits.

I didn’t have to file taxes for 2018. My only income is Disability Social Security. Are you sure I don’t have to file anything to receive stimulus check?
