ABSENTEE VOTING BALLOTS INFORMATION
|
For 2020, Voting by absentee is allowed if you are concerned about CoVid-19. If you are disabled, you may already vote by absentee. However, for other voters who have never voted absentee, many are apprehensive about going to the polls in person this year as CoVid-19 continues to surge around the country. In April, the NH Secretary of State and NH Attorney General's office gave permission allowing voters to vote by absentee if they had a concern of CoVid-19. Then in June, the absentee ballot application was changed to make this process easier.

IRS takes new steps to ensure people with children receive $500 Economic Impact Payments
IR-2020-180, August 14, 2020
WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service continues to look for ways to help people who were unable to provide their information in time to receive Economic Impact Payments for their children. As part of that effort, the Internal Revenue Service announced today it will reopen the registration period for federal beneficiaries who didn't receive $500 per child payments earlier this year.
The IRS urges certain federal benefit recipients to use the IRS.gov Non-Filers tool starting August 15 through September 30 to enter information on their qualifying children to receive the supplemental $500 payments.
Those eligible to provide this information include people with qualifying children who receive Social Security retirement, survivor or disability benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Railroad Retirement benefits and Veterans Affairs Compensation and Pension (C&P) benefits and did not file a tax return in 2018 or 2019.
The IRS anticipates the catch-up payments, equal to $500 per eligible child, will be issued by mid-October.
"IRS employees have been working non-stop to deliver more than 160 million Economic Impact Payments in record time. We have coordinated outreach efforts with thousands of community-based organizations and have provided materials in more than two dozen languages," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "Given the extremely high demand for EIP assistance, we have continued to prioritize and increase resource allocations to eligible individuals, including those who may be waiting on some portion of their payment. To help with this, we are allocating additional IRS resources to ensure eligible recipients receive their full payments during this challenging time."
