Congress has not included local forms of welfare as qualifying for the stimulus payments, so you would not file anything.

Congress did not include local forms of welfare as qualifying income for the stimulus payments so you would not file anything.

"I am not typically required to file a tax return.   Can I still receive my payment?

Yes. People who typically do not file a tax return will need to file a simple tax return to receive an economic impact payment. Low-income taxpayers, senior citizens, Social Security recipients, some veterans and individuals with disabilities who are otherwise not required to file a tax return will not owe tax.

 

How can I file the tax return needed to receive my economic impact payment?

IRS.gov/coronavirus will soon provide information instructing people in these groups on how to file a 2019 tax return with simple, but necessary, information including their filing status, number of dependents and direct deposit bank account information."

You must, however, have a bank account that will accept he direct deposit or a mailing address to receive a check.
