if you are on SSI, there is no need to complete registration.  the payments are coming later this week.

 

who claims the child? you or your spouse? 

 

if the spouse does, still no need to file. 

 

if you claim the child, the deadline just passed to get the $500 on this week's stimulus check.  Appears you would need to file a simple tax return next year to claim that $500.  I assume the child is under 17 years old

My wife already received 1700 for her and her child. How do I get the extra 500 for my child filling married but separately filling I dont know what I'm doing SSI

@Boog09 at this point, it appears you would have to file a 2020 tax return next year to get the $500 for the child. 

 

your $1200 should be deposited into the same account as your SSI later this week,
