the one-time payment

On May 7, 2009, the federal government issued the first economic recovery payments to people receiving Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.  The payments are being issued on a staggered basis throughout the month of May.  Please do not contact us unless you have not received your payment by June 4, 2009.

In February, President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.  This act provides for the one-time payment of $250 to more than 50 million individuals who get Social Security and SSI benefits.
