Reports

The Commissioner, Wage and Investment Division, should initiate a multipronged public awareness campaign to inform the public about the availability of the Recovery Rebate Credit related to individuals deceased in Calendar Year 2020. This campaign should clarify information previously provided about the advance payments as well as actions that need to be taken to claim the Recovery Rebate Credit for a Calendar Year 2020 decedent.

The Commissioner, Wage and Investment Division, should ensure that prior to issuing future EIPs, processes are developed to cross-check return filings to identify and prevent payments to individuals who are not eligible based on applicable dependency requirements.
