    I assume you are asking about the economic stimulus payment (also called the tax rebate). If you are claimed as someone else's dependent then you are not eligible. Also, SSI payments do not count towards the $3K income threshold - so you must have $3K of income from sources such as social security, veterans benefits, or earned income.

    Here is a link to a page on the IRS web site that spells out the details for seniors on social security:
