Collecting Your Unclaimed Stimulus Funds

Did you miss a stimulus payment or tax credit during the pandemic? You’re not alone — millions of Americans may still be eligible for unclaimed stimulus funds, tax credits, or recovery payments.

Whether it was a missed check, an underpaid amount, or an eligibility issue that was later corrected, you may be able to claim your money retroactively, but you need to act quickly.

✅ What Types of Stimulus Money Can Still Be Claimed?

Recovery Rebate Credit (2020 & 2021)
If you didn’t receive the full amount of your first, second, or third stimulus check, you may qualify for the Recovery Rebate Credit, claimed through your tax return.

Child Tax Credit (CTC)
If you had children under 17 in 2021 and didn’t receive the full monthly payments, you can still file to claim the rest of the expanded Child Tax Credit, which was worth up to $3,600 per child.

Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
If your income dropped during the pandemic, you may now qualify for the EITC, a refund that could add hundreds (or thousands) back to your tax return — even if you don’t owe any taxes.

State-Level Stimulus Payments
Some states issued their own relief or refund payments that many residents never received. You can check your state’s tax or treasury department for details.

📝 How to Check If You’re Owed Stimulus Money
  • Review your IRS transcripts at IRS.gov to check which payments were issued under your name.
  • If you didn’t file taxes in 2020 or 2021, you must file to claim missed payments — even if you had no income.
  • Use the IRS Non-Filer tool (if available) to start your claim.
  • Contact your state revenue department for local stimulus or refund opportunities.
🕒 Time Is Running Out — Don’t Miss the Deadline

You can still claim missing federal stimulus funds from 2020 or 2021, but the time to do so is limited. IRS deadlines are tied to when you file your taxes, and the window may close soon. The sooner you act, the better your chances of receiving what you’re owed.

📌 Don’t Leave Free Money on the Table

If you or your family missed out on stimulus payments or tax credits, it’s not too late to claim what you’re owed. These funds were set aside to help Americans recover — make sure you get your share.
