Now that President Donald Trump has signed a $900 billion relief package authorizing a new round of direct payments, the new question for many is when they will receive the $600 checks.
The portal is temporarily offline, but starting later this week, people can start logging onto it to find out the status of their money, a Treasury announcement said. The Senate adjourned Tuesday without taking up a bill that passed the House on Monday boosting the payments to $2,000. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell hinted he might tie the bigger checks to other issues, like a repeal of liability protections for social-media platforms.
“The infrastructure has been set up for this distribution method and has been tested already,” he said. Meanwhile, “for Social Security and other beneficiaries who received the first round of payments via Direct Express, they will receive this second payment the same way,” the agency said. The pre-paid cards will come in white envelopes that “prominently displays the U.S. Department of the Treasury seal,” the IRS said. The card will bear the Visa name on the front and the name of the issuing bank, MetaBank, will be on the card’s back. Information included with the card will explain that this is your Economic Impact Payment. There’s more information on the pre-paid cards here.
Unpopular opinion: Every American regardless of income should receive a check. You really mean to tell me if I made money in 2019 I wasn’t affected by the pandemic? 🧐
