Still haven’t received your $600 stimulus payment? Check the mail for a debit card.
The Internal Revenue Service sent out more than 100 million payments in January, which were approved by Congress late last year. The vast majority of payments were directly deposited into personal bank accounts, but others are receiving either a paper check or prepaid debit card in the mail. About 8 million debit cards were sent out.
Like the first round of payments, which were worth up to $1,200 per person and were sent out last spring, the agency is sending the payment in three different ways to help speed up the delivery process.

January 15 is the date specified in the recently implemented $900 billion COVID relief bill, the legislation that made the new $600 stimulus payments possible.
When Will Delayed Stimulus Checks Arrive?
Millions of U.S. citizens, whose stimulus checks got caught up in an IRS bungle, should receive them by early February if they have not already.
The IRS is working to fix an error that caused it to transfer millions of $600 coronavirus relief payments to closed or inactive bank accounts. This forced taxpayers to be patient as the money bounced back to the feds.
