Are stimulus checks being mailed or direct deposited

The IRS is mailing stimulus checks to eligible individuals and families who have not provided direct deposit information. However, if you have already provided direct deposit information, your stimulus check will be direct deposited into your bank account.

Here's how the IRS is distributing stimulus checks:

  1. Direct Deposit: If you have already provided direct deposit information to the IRS, your stimulus check will be direct deposited into your bank account. This is the fastest and most convenient way to receive your stimulus check.
  2. Mailed Checks: If you have not provided direct deposit information, the IRS will mail your stimulus check to the address they have on file for you. This may take a few weeks to arrive.
  3. EIP Cards: For some individuals, the IRS may issue an Economic Impact Payment (EIP) card, which is a prepaid debit card. This card will be mailed to you and can be used to access your stimulus funds.

To check the status of your stimulus check, you can:

  1. Use the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool on their website to track the status of your stimulus check.
  2. Check your bank account or credit union to see if the stimulus check has been direct deposited.
  3. Monitor your mail for a stimulus check or EIP card.

Remember to keep an eye on your mail and bank accounts to ensure you receive your stimulus check. If you have any issues or concerns, you can contact the IRS or your bank for assistance.
