Economic Stimulus Check Eligibility

Dear Parish Social Minister: 

Your help is needed in getting the word out to the 12 million
individuals who could claim, but haven't, their economic
stimulus check.  The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)
and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) have provided
all the resources needed below to have the conversation with those you
serve to help determine if they are eligible and, if so, how to
file.  Please help share this information throughout your
networks. 

* CBPP has issued a new analysis on the estimated 12 million
people who are eligible for Economic Impact Payments (EIP) but
who must file an online form with the IRS to claim the funds.
The paper provides demographic information about the group,
includes state by state numbers, and offers suggestions for
steps that states as well as community service providers can
take to help this group of very vulnerable individuals claim the
substantial EIP payment ($1,200 for adults and $500 for
children).

* CBPP has also developed resources that organizations can use to
support EIP outreach work including FAQs, an informational
flyer, sample social media posts, and outreach templates (blog
post, press release, and emails). These resources are available
through CBPP's Get it Back campaign, which has promoted
refundable tax credits and free tax filing assistance for more
than 30 years.

Eligible individuals have until October 15th to file for their EIP
this year.  

Here's you can help:

* Share: It's important that we inform our networks that 12
million individuals with very low-income can claim an EIP by
filing a form with the IRS. Feel free to retweet the
Center's post about the paper on social media.

* Activate: Encourage your networks to take action to assist
individuals to file or to connect individuals to help. Our
outreach resources include some tips on how to do this.
* Advocate: We estimate that some 9 million of the eligible
individuals are enrolled in SNAP and Medicaid. Governors, tribal
leaders and local leaders along with the agencies that operate
those programs can play a big role in reaching eligible
people. Let's challenge our local leaders to help all
eligible people claim these funds.  
* Collaborate: Become a partner in our national EIP Outreach
Campaign. Join a growing group of national organizations
committed to helping eligible people get their EIPs.

We hope we can count on you to join efforts to help leverage the
estimated $12 billion EIPs available for 12 million eligible
people. This work could not be more timely.

Thank you for your kind consideration.
