Who is eligible for the ‘special’ $1,400 stimulus payment that 1 million Americans will receive?

Americans are facing the struggle for higher prices, specifically in food and housing, even though the country’s economy has improved, so any support program or surprise payments are a great relief for their finances, especially at this time of year.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) gave good news to about 1 million taxpayers who will receive a special payment of up to $1,400 at the end of the month that will be deposited into the bank accounts of eligible individuals or with a check will be sent by mail.

The beneficiaries will be the one million people who did not claim the federal stimulus check on their 2021 tax returns, so the IRS will issue automatic payments to those who did not claim the Economic Impact Payments (EIP) during the pandemic, which vary from person to person, but the maximum amount is $1,400.

“To minimize headaches and get this money to eligible taxpayers, we are making these automatic payments, which means these individuals will not have to go through the lengthy process of filing an amended return to receive it,” IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel said in a statement, adding, “By looking at our internal data, we realized that one million taxpayers overlooked claiming this complex credit when they were actually eligible.”
