Stimulus Check for seniors
My husband and I are in our 80’s, 88 and 85. We received the first stimulus checks for $600.00 but never received the second stimulus check. Were we not entitled to the second check? And if so, for what reason. I had mine earmarked for new hearing aids. If we were entitled, what do we do to pursue this. Than you for your help.

Did you receive the first checks of $1200 each — which were distributed last Spring? If not, you should file a 2020 tax return — even if you had no income but Social Security. On line 30 you can claim that first $1200 EACH as a refundable credit. There is free tax filing help for low income people at www.IRS.gov/freefile.
And, if you are each getting Social Security, look for a deposit of $1400 each in the same account you get your benefits. They have just started to send those out.
But if you do not get that $1400 each, please write back next month.
