Some Social Security recipients must tell the Internal Revenue Service how many dependent children they have before noon Wednesday if they want to get their full stimulus payouts.

If those people don’t take action, they'll still automatically receive $1,200—but will have to wait until next year to receive the additional $500 due per dependent, according to the IRS.
