Are stimulus checks mailed out yet
The stimulus checks, also known as Economic Impact Payments (EIPs), are being mailed out by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to eligible individuals and families. The IRS has been sending out the checks since mid-April 2020, and the process is ongoing.
Here's an update on the current status:
- As of March 2023, the IRS has sent out over 175 million EIPs, with a total value of over $400 billion.
- The IRS is still processing and sending out EIPs, but the pace has slowed down significantly since the initial wave of payments in 2020.
- The IRS typically sends out EIPs by direct deposit, which is the fastest and most secure way to receive the payment. If you have not received your EIP by direct deposit, you may need to wait for a paper check to arrive.
- If you have not received your EIP and believe you are eligible, you can check the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool to see the status of your payment.
To check the status of your stimulus check, you can use the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool on the IRS website. You will need to provide your Social Security number, date of birth, and zip code to access the tool.
Keep in mind that the IRS may not be able to provide an exact date for when your stimulus check will be mailed, as the processing time can vary depending on the complexity of your tax return and other factors.
