Are stimulus checks being mailed out in alphabetical order

No, stimulus checks are not being mailed out in alphabetical order. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is using a random selection process to determine the order in which stimulus checks are mailed out.

The IRS has stated that it is using a combination of factors to determine the order in which stimulus checks are mailed out, including:

1. The date the IRS received the taxpayer's 2020 tax return.
2. The taxpayer's filing status (single, married filing jointly, head of household, etc.).
3. The taxpayer's income level.
4. The taxpayer's tax liability.

The IRS has also stated that it is using a random selection process to ensure that stimulus checks are mailed out in a fair and equitable manner. This means that the order in which stimulus checks are mailed out is not based on any specific criteria, such as alphabetical order.

It's worth noting that the IRS has been working to process and mail out stimulus checks as quickly as possible, and it is expected that the majority of stimulus checks will be mailed out by the end of April. However, the exact timing of when a specific stimulus check will be mailed out is not publicly available, as it is determined by the IRS's processing schedule.
