    I would not want to be in one of those call center cube farms during all of this.

    Based on the language as passed by the senate, no, SSI recipients will not receive any stimulus benefits.

    10:59, that is FALSE. SSI recipients are eligible for the stimulus. However, if they didn't file a 2018 or 2019 tax return, and didn't get an SSA-1099 (which they'd get if they concurrently received a Title II benefit) or RRB-1099, they may need to file a tax return in order to get the stimulus.
