Some Social Security recipients say they're desperate for latest stimulus checks

IRS officials have touted the agency's delivery of the latest round of stimulus checks as reaching eligible Americans in "record time." Yet some Social Security recipients in urgent need of financial assistance say they're still waiting for the emergency relief payment.

"I'm having to put off everything — utility bills, cable. I had to be late on rent," Mark Stevens, 65, of Pensacola, Florida, told CBS MoneyWatch.  Stevens took notice when the IRS on March 12 said that a payment date for Social Security recipients would be announced "shortly," and he expected his stimulus money to arrive quickly given that the second relief payment approved by lawmakers in late December had arrived within two days of the law authorizing it. No such luck.
