Disabled residents in Mississippi could be in for a significant financial boost this summer. The IRS is issuing $3,000 direct deposits to qualifying individuals as part of a new federal relief initiative aimed at providing support to people living with disabilities. With inflation and healthcare costs on the rise, this one-time payment could be a critical lifeline for many.
Who Qualifies for the $3,000 Payment?
To be eligible, recipients must be Mississippi residents who are currently receiving disability benefits through Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Individuals must have had an active status with the Social Security Administration (SSA) as of June 1, 2025. Additionally, your adjusted gross income must fall below $75,000 for single filers or $150,000 for joint filers to receive the full payment.
How to Claim Your Deposit
Most eligible individuals do not need to apply separately. The IRS will automatically process payments using data already on file through SSA or previous tax returns. However, if you haven’t filed taxes in the past two years or your banking information has changed, you’re advised to update your details through the IRS’s Get My Payment portal by July 15, 2025 to avoid delays.

When Will Payments Arrive?
The IRS will begin issuing payments starting July 22, 2025, and deposits will continue through July 26. Direct deposit is the fastest method, but if you’re receiving a paper check, you may have to wait up to 10 business days longer. Those with outdated addresses or closed bank accounts could experience additional delays, so timely updates are critical.
What If You Don’t Receive It?
If you believe you’re eligible but haven’t received your payment by August 10, 2025, contact the IRS or check your status on the IRS payment tracker. It may be a result of incorrect information, pending verification, or processing errors. Be sure to have your Social Security number and latest tax return on hand when making inquiries.
This $3,000 deposit comes at a crucial time for disabled individuals in Mississippi, offering much-needed financial assistance. The IRS is making the process as seamless as possible for those already enrolled in federal disability programs. To ensure you don’t miss out, verify your eligibility and keep your information up to date before the July 15 portal cutoff. Every dollar counts—and this one could make a big difference.
