The Internal Revenue Service is “working aggressively with partner groups inside and outside the tax community to help as many people, including those in the homeless community, receive the stimulus payments as possible,” IRS spokeswoman Jodie Reynolds said in an email to USA TODAY.
Homeless people were eligible for two rounds of stimulus payments in 2020, as well.
“Assuming that the person who is homeless or unsheltered has an income below the income threshold, they are eligible,” Laura Scherler, senior director of economic mobility for the United Way, told USA TODAY.
