Statement from Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security, about Economic Impact Payments

I want to provide an important update about the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) processing of Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) under the American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act. 

At each turn over the last 12 months, immediate delivery of EIPs has been, and remains, a top priority for this agency.  SSA’s public service mission is squarely focused on many of those who are most economically-vulnerable in our society and we owe it to our beneficiaries to ensure they receive their EIPs right away.
