Will I Receive Another Coronavirus Stimulus Payment?
No additional stimulus payments are planned at this time. The stimulus payments that were issued during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021 ended several years ago. If you did not receive a stimulus payment or need to claim one on your taxes, you may be eligible for a special tax credit. Check the IRS website for the most current information.
What Was the Coronavirus Stimulus Payment?
The coronavirus stimulus payment, also known as the Economic Impact Payment (EIP), was a federal payment provided by the U.S. government to eligible individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. The payment was designed to provide financial relief to Americans during this period of economic uncertainty.

There were three rounds of stimulus payments:
- First round: March-May 2020 ($1,200 per adult, $500 per child)
- Second round: December 2020-January 2021 ($600 per adult, $600 per child)
- Third round: March-December 2021 ($1,400 per adult, $1,400 per child)
How Did You Qualify for a Stimulus Payment?
To be eligible for a stimulus payment, you generally needed to:
- Be a U.S. citizen or qualifying resident alien
- Have a valid Social SSN
- Have a valid tax identification number
- Have a filing status of single, married filing jointly, head of household, or qualifying widow

What If You Didn’t Receive Your Payment?
If you believe you were eligible but did not receive a stimulus payment, you could claim the Recovery Rebate Credit on your tax return. Consult with a tax professional for guidance on how to proceed.
