REMINDER: 2009 Economic Recovery Payment verified through other agencies
A one-time payment of $250 was made in 2009 to recipients receiving benefits from the Social Security Administration, disabled veterans receiving benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and Railroad Retirement beneficiaries.
Taxpayers who need verification about receipt of the 2009 economic recovery payment should personally contact their respective agency for confirmation, not the IRS, before completing and filing their 2009 tax return in 2010.
