Are stimulus checks mailed out everyday
The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) processes and mails out stimulus checks, also known as Economic Impact Payments (EIPs), on a regular schedule, but not necessarily every day.
The IRS typically sends out stimulus checks in batches, with multiple batches being processed and mailed out on different days. The exact schedule can vary depending on several factors, including:
- The number of eligible recipients: The IRS processes stimulus checks in batches based on the number of eligible recipients. If there are a large number of eligible recipients, it may take longer to process and mail out the checks.
- The complexity of the claims: The IRS may prioritize processing stimulus checks for recipients with more complex claims, such as those with dependents or self-employment income.
- The availability of funds: The IRS receives funding from the Treasury Department to process stimulus checks. If the funding is limited, the IRS may process checks in batches to ensure that all eligible recipients receive their payments.
In general, the IRS typically sends out stimulus checks on the following schedule:
- Monday to Friday: The IRS processes and mails out stimulus checks on weekdays, with multiple batches being processed and mailed out each day.
- Weekends: The IRS does not process or mail out stimulus checks on weekends, as the agency is closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
- Holidays: The IRS is also closed on federal holidays, which can impact the processing and mailing of stimulus checks.
To track the status of your stimulus check, you can use the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool on the IRS website. This tool allows you to check the status of your payment, including whether it has been processed and mailed out.
