Are they mailing the stimulus checks yet

The stimulus checks, also known as Economic Impact Payments, are being mailed out by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to eligible individuals and families. The IRS started mailing the checks in mid-April 2020, and the process is ongoing.

Here are some updates on the stimulus check mailing schedule:

  1. Initial mailing: The IRS started mailing checks in mid-April 2020, with the first batch going out to those who filed their 2018 or 2019 tax returns and had their direct deposit information on file.
  2. Ongoing mailing: The IRS continues to mail checks to eligible individuals and families who have not received their stimulus payment yet. The agency is prioritizing those who are most in need, such as low-income households and those with dependents.
  3. Mailing schedule: The IRS is mailing checks on a weekly basis, with the exact schedule varying depending on the volume of payments to be processed.
  4. Check status: You can check the status of your stimulus check on the IRS website using the "Get My Payment" tool. This tool will show you if your payment has been mailed, and if so, when you can expect to receive it.
  5. Direct deposit: If you have not received your stimulus check by mail, you may be eligible for direct deposit. The IRS is also sending direct deposit payments to eligible individuals and families.

Remember, the stimulus checks are automatic for most people who are eligible. If you have not received your check by the end of May 2020, you can contact the IRS or use the "Get My Payment" tool to check the status of your payment.
