When are stimulus checks being mailed
The timing of stimulus checks being mailed can vary depending on the country, state, or program. Here are some general guidelines:
United States:
- The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is responsible for issuing stimulus checks to eligible individuals and families in the United States.
- The IRS has been sending out Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) since April 2020 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
- The IRS typically sends out stimulus checks by mail, but some people may receive their payments via direct deposit or prepaid debit cards.
- The IRS has been sending out stimulus checks in batches, with the most recent batch being sent out in January 2022.
- If you're eligible for a stimulus check, you can check the status of your payment on the IRS website or by using the IRS's Get My Payment tool.
Canada:
- In Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is responsible for issuing stimulus checks to eligible individuals and families.
- The CRA has been sending out Canada Recovery Benefit (CRB) payments since September 2020 as part of the COVID-19 Economic Response Plan.
- The CRA typically sends out CRB payments by direct deposit or mail.
- If you're eligible for a CRB payment, you can check the status of your payment on the CRA website or by contacting the CRA directly.
Other countries:
- In other countries, the timing and method of stimulus checks can vary depending on the country's government and economic policies.
- For example, in Australia, the Australian Government has been sending out JobKeeper payments to eligible employees and employers since March 2020.
- In the United Kingdom, the UK Government has been sending out Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) payments to eligible employers since March 2020.
Important note:
