Didn’t Get Your Stimulus Check Yet? The IRS Has An App for That

Everyone wants to know: When will I get my $1,200 COVID-19 stimulus check? (I just checked the mailbox, and mine isn’t here yet). So how do you find out when that check will be in the mail — or if you’re even eligible to receive one?

Don’t worry, dear taxpayer. The IRS has an app for that.

Or more precisely, the Internal Revenue Service has put together a webpage for (a) determining if you’re eligible to receive a stimulus, (b) providing the agency with direct deposit information to help get the money to you faster, and perhaps even (c) tracking down that highly anticipated government cash.

www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment is the address for the website. If you click the big blue button (there’s only one — you can’t miss it), then click the next blue button consenting to proceed, you’ll be presented with a short form requesting your social security number, birth date, and address.

The website will check this information against its database of 2018 and 2019 income tax payers and automatically determine whether you are eligible for a stimulus payment. If the IRS doesn’t have your bank account information on file, you will then be given the opportunity to enter it so as to receive faster payment via a direct deposit. Or you can choose to have your stimulus check sent by mail instead.

  1. On Thursday morning, the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) officially ran out of money.
    In response to the PPP’s loss of funding, GOP leaders such as House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) expressed outrage.
    Swing Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema AZ) also called for the fund to be replenished “ASAP.”
    Pelosi, however, is playing politics and throwing a wrench in the gears of America’s coronavirus recovery efforts, which has prompted some Democrats in the House to break rank in support of refunding the PPP.
    Breitbart reports that fifteen of these Democrats took to Twitter to call for the fund to be replenished.
    Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) wrote on Twitter, “The @SBAgov ’s Paycheck Protection Program has just run out of money, leaving business owners who are trying to pay their employees stranded. We need to fund the PPP and other SBA programs — there are small businesses counting on our support.”
