The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA or Stimulus Bill) includes a one-time payment of $250 to anyone who received any kind of Social Security benefit, including retirement, survivors and disability benefits, Railroad Retirement or Veterans Administration (VA) disability compensation or pension benefits during November 2008, December 2008, or January 2009. Most people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will also receive the one-time payment; however, persons in nursing homes who receive a monthly SSI benefit of $30 will not receive the payment. Most payments will go out this month and all should be received by June 4, 2009. Children receiving Social Security benefits who are under the age of 18 (or 19 if still in high school), will not be eligible for the payment; however, adult children who receive disability payment on a parent\u2019s record will receive a payment. Additionally, children who receive SSI will receive a payment.<\/p>\n
