@pleasant1973 The plus up payment is an additional stimulus amount for those who received their original payment based on 2019 or 2018 tax information and when they filed their 2020 return, they were eligible for a higher payment.  Example would be you received $1,400 based on your 2019 return then when you filed your 2020 return, you have an additional dependent.   In this example you would be eligible for a plus payment of $1,400 for the additional dependent, if your income was within the limits.  

 

Additionally, if your income from 2019 or 2018 was higher and disqualified you from receiving the stimulus payments, a lower income in 2020 below the filing status threshold would make you eligible for a plus up payment.  Note the plus up payments only relate to the most recent 3rd stimulus payment.  Click here for more information.

So is there a way to find out if you eligible and when I’ll receive my payment. Because I know I qualify because I have a dependent added and my 2020 income was less then my 2018 n 2019 taxes
