saw this on twitter and i’m not quite sure about the process here, but figured it could be helpful to anybody who’s homeless and needs the check, so i thought i’d repost it here. if anybody has corrections or things to add, please do! the thread doesn’t contain a lot of information about when you can expect to see this money, unfortunately, so i’m not sure if it’s the fastest or best method for this, and i’m hoping maybe someone else knows of more options.
i’m unfortunately not sure how to do image IDs correctly. however, to summarize, this thread says that anyone who is homeless should go to a tax preparation office, do their 1040 and file an EIP return. if you have a debit card, you can have the stimulus check put on that card. it’s also possible to use a homeless shelter address for this process at the tax preparation office, and to go there to pick it up. tax preparation offices charge a fee, but there is also an IRS program called VITA that can help you file for free, which i link later in this post.
here’s the link to the IRS VITA thing.
the whole thread is here for anyone who wants to get more information from twitter.
