Stimulus Payments Outreach Resources

Did you know that millions of eligible people could miss out on their Economic Impact Payments (EIP) – commonly called “stimulus checks” – because they have to file an online form with the IRS to get it? While most people get their payments automatically after filing a tax return (or based on participation in certain federally administered programs), this group of “non-filers” must take action to get their money (worth $1,200 for adults and $500 for qualifying children).

Eligible individuals have until October 15th to file for their EIP this year, so there’s a lot of work to do to get the word out. (People who miss this deadline can also file a 2020 tax return next year to receive the payment in 2021.)

Will you join efforts to help leverage the estimated $12 billion EIPs available for 12 million eligible people? 

The resources: This EIP resource center provides advocates, community organizations, and partners vital information to share what people need to know and where people can find help to get their payments. On this page, you will find guides to getting started, ready-to-use materials to share, and resources to help you learn more.

Get It Back Campaign

The Get It Back Campaign helps eligible workers claim tax credits and use free tax filing assistance to maximize tax time. A project of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, the Campaign partners with community organizations, businesses, government agencies, and financial institutions to conduct outreach nationally. For 30 years, these partnerships have connected lower and moderate-income workers to tax benefits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), the Child Tax Credit (CTC), and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA).
