My sister has a mental disability and lives in a group home in New York City. She receives both SSI and Social Security, and both payments are received and managed by a representative payee in the home where she lives. I don't know if her checks are automatically deposited in an account or sent as a check. Will she be entitled to the $1200 COVID 19 stimulus check? If yes, what will be the responsibility of the representative payee to make sure she gets the stimulus funds?

Hi,

I'm sorry, but my only area of expertise is Social Security benefits, so I'm unable to answer questions about stimulus payments. The IRS has set up the following website regarding stimulus payments: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/economic-impact-payments-what-you-need-to-know.
