Millions of Americans get direct payouts, like stimulus checks, tax credits, and benefits. These are more common than you might think.
Stimulus checks are one-time or recurring payments that are sent to people who are qualified to help them with their finances.
These payments encourage people to spend money, make it easier for people who are having trouble with money, and strengthen the business.
Rich people and families can also get help from tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC).
Then there are benefits like Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), unemployment benefits, and veterans’ benefits. These are also direct payments from the government to people who are qualified.

Retired Social Security recipients
A Social Security retiree can earn an additional $943 per month through Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if mandatory requirements are met.
Direct deposit will allow you to receive your money on the same day as the payment date, other methods will take longer.
A disability and being 65+, as well as low resources, such as a low income, are the only requirements. These are mandatory; however, if not met, it cannot be claimed.
When there are exceptions, payments tend to be deferred to the next business day of that month. For example, June 1 is a Saturday, so the payment will be made on Monday, June 3.
