Washington (CNN)The Internal Revenue Service is giving some Social Security recipients more time to register for the $500 per child they may be due as part of their full stimulus payment. Those eligible will have until September 30 to enter their information online. They can expect the payments to be issued by mid-October, the IRS said Friday. Many Social Security beneficiaries, as well as Railroad Retirement and veterans pension recipients, are not required to file tax retur...ns because their income is below the filing threshold. While those people received their $1,200 stimulus payment automatically, they may have missed out on the extra $500 due per dependent because the IRS didn't have that information on file. Initially, April 22 was the last day to register for the additional money -- and the IRS gave just 48 hours' notice of that deadline. See more
