Are stimulus checks being mailed out today

According to the latest information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the second round of Economic Impact Payments (EIPs), also known as stimulus checks, are being mailed out to eligible individuals and families.

As of March 2021, the IRS has started mailing out the second round of stimulus checks to those who are eligible. The checks are being mailed out in batches, and the IRS is working to get them out as quickly as possible.

Here are some key details to keep in mind:

  1. Who is eligible: The second round of stimulus checks is for individuals and families who are eligible based on their 2020 tax returns. This includes those who:
    • Have an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $75,000 or less for single filers, or $150,000 or less for joint filers.
    • Are not required to file a tax return (e.g., seniors, disabled individuals, and those with limited income).
  2. How to check your status: You can check your stimulus check status using the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool on their website. This tool will show you if a payment has been sent, and if so, when it was mailed.
  3. Mailing schedule: The IRS is mailing out the stimulus checks in batches, with the first batch being sent out in mid-March. The mailing schedule is as follows:
    • March 12-19: Checks for those who filed 2020 tax returns and are eligible for the full amount.
    • March 20-26: Checks for those who filed 2020 tax returns and are eligible for a partial amount.
    • Late March to early April: Checks for those who are not required to file a tax return (e.g., seniors, disabled individuals, and those with limited income).
  4. Direct deposit: If you received your first stimulus check via direct deposit, you may receive your second stimulus check via direct deposit as well. If you don't receive a direct deposit, you'll receive a paper check.

Remember to keep an eye on your mailbox and check your bank account regularly to ensure you receive your stimulus check. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact the IRS directly.
