By Terry Savage on January 28, 2021 |

My retired dad’s first stimulus paper check came in the mail. He moved 6 months ago. He hasn’t received his $600 check yet. Will he get it or will he need to file his 2020 taxes to get the credit for it? He does receive his Social Security benefits via direct deposit.
Thank you, Terry! Always appreciate your advice and knowledge on these issues!
