Is Social Security Making Additional Payments Because Of The Pandemic?

Friend told me she received a deposit of $200 in her account and she disable. I guess Social Security doing there part during the pandemic. If the IRS taking to long for the stimulus

Hi,

Congress has not authorized any changes to Social Security benefits in response to COVID-19, so if your friend received a payment of $200 from Social Security it has nothing to do with the current pandemic.

Best, Jerry
