The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued nearly 160 million stimulus payments to American households, but millions of eligible individuals have not yet received a payment and are at risk of missing out entirely.
A study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a progressive think tank, said that around 12 million low-income people need to provide their information to the IRS by mid-October or they will miss out on a combined $12 billion in assistance. The individuals typically don’t have information on file with the IRS, and they also don’t participate in programs such as Social Security.
