Qualification: All qualified families are entitled to receive the monthly prebate. The term “qualified family” means one or more family members sharing a common residence. A qualified family consists of all family members sharing the common residence. Family members include an individual and his or her spouse, children and grandchildren, parents and grandparents. Children/students living away from home are considered family members if they are registered as a student for at least 5 months out of the year and receive at least 50 percent of their support from the family unit. Children of divorced parents are considered to be family members of the custodial parent. Incarcerated individuals are not eligible to be a member of a qualified family.
In order for a person to be counted as a member of the family for purposes of determining the size of the qualified family, a person must have a valid social security number and be a lawful resident of the United States. Unlike the Earned Income Tax Credit, the application/registration form that families who choose to receive the prebate must file is simple and straightforward. Those choosing not to register will not receive a prebate. The registration form requires only the following information:
1. the name of each family member who shares the residence;
2. the social security number of each family member;
3. the family member to whom the monthly prebate check should be paid;
4. a sworn statement that all listed family members are lawful residents, that all family members sharing the common residence are listed, and that no family members are incarcerated;,
5. the address of the shared residence; and
6. the signature of all family members 21 years of age and older.
Administration: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will send out the monthly prebate on or before the first day of every month. Prebate payments can only be made to persons 18 years or older. If a family wishes to designate more than one person to receive the prebate, then the prebate payment will be divided evenly among those persons designated. Example: two single people sharing the same residence would be able to each get a prebate check.
Registration renewal: After the initial registration, any qualified family that fails to renew its registration each year, within 30 days of the family determination date, will cease receiving the prebate 90 days following the failure to register. However, the family can file to get up to six months of missed prebate checks later (with no interest on missed payments). A possible method of assigning registration renewal dates would be on the birth date of the person filing the application. Thirty (30) or more days before the annual registration date, the sales tax authority is required to mail a proposed registration to each qualified family that simply needs to be signed and mailed back in if the family’s circumstances have not changed.
Administrative Cost: In accordance with instructions from each qualified family, SSA will provide the prebate in the form of a paper check via U.S. Mail, an electronic funds transfer to a bank account, or a “smartcard” that can be used much like a bank debit card. (This method is already in use to provide other benefits from the federal government.) The National Taxpayers Union estimated that the cost of mailing monthly prebate checks via the U.S. Post Office would be approximately $225 million. To the extent SSA uses electronic funds transfer and “smart card” technology; this amount would be reduced accordingly.
Fraud Prevention: When the state sales tax authorities process the prebate applications they will validate all names and social security numbers against the SSA database. States already do this in relation to the administration of other state/federal cooperative programs such as unemployment compensation benefits and child support enforcement. They will also check for duplicate social security numbers being claimed by different households to prevent more than one household listing the same person as a household member. Any duplicate social security numbers will have to be resolved before the prebate payment is made.
