The second round of stimulus checks is hitting bank accounts now.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin tweeted that the Treasury Department has delivered a payment file to the Federal Reservice and that “payments may begin to arrive in some accounts by direct deposit as early as (Monday night) and will continue into next week.”
“Treasury and the IRS are working with unprecedented speed to issue a second round of Economic Impact Payments to eligible Americans and their families,” Mnuchin said. “These payments are an integral part of our commitment to providing vital additional economic relief to the American people during this unprecedented time.”
Mailing for paper checks will start today (Wednesday, Dec. 30).
The IRS tool for checking the status of your payment - http://IRS.gov/GetMyPayment - will go live later this week.
Officially known as “Economic Impact Payments,” the stimulus will provide up to $600 for individuals or $1,200 for married couples and up to $600 for each qualifying child. Generally, the direct payments will go to those with 2019 adjusted gross income of up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns. Payments are reduced for people earning more than those amounts.
The payments come after months of negotiations over direct payments and an overall stimulus package. President Trump has called for $2,000 payments – something approved by the House – but not by the Senate. In the event the Senate approves the higher amount, Mnuchin said the additional funds will go out “as quickly as possible.”
The first round of COVID-19 relief checks - $1,200 for individuals and $2,400 for married couples with $500 for dependents – was distributed starting in March during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Some $270 billion in funds was distributed to nearly 160 million people.
