1. What is the Second Stimulus Check?

The second stimulus check was part of the COVID-19 relief package passed in December 2020. Social Security recipients were eligible for a base payment of $600, with additional amounts based on filing status, income, and dependents.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ Payment = \$600 \text{ (SS recipients)} + \$600 \times \text{Dependents} - \text{Income Phaseout Reduction} \]

Where:

Base payment — $600 for Social Security recipients
Dependents — $600 per qualifying child dependent
Income phaseout — 5% of income above threshold
