Plus Up stimulus payments are being sent out before the New Year, so it’s important to register in time.
Plus Up payments are stimulus checks sent to people who received checks already that were based on their 2019 tax returns.
Anyone that did not file a return automatically received a third payment if they receive Social Security, survivor benefits, Railroad Retirement benefits, SSI, or veterans benefits.

This is true for those who claimed an elderly or disabled dependent and the IRS was unaware as well.
These stimulus checks will be sent until Dec. 31, 2021.

When the IRS evaluates 2020 tax returns, they will see who qualifies for the Plus Up stimulus check.
The American Rescue Plan passed in March gave the IRS until Dec. 31 to make all the payments.
To qualify, you have until the end of the year to file your taxes.
Anyone eligible can track the payment using the Get My Payment tool through the IRS.
500,000 payments have already been made with direct deposit.
