IRS deploying another batch of direct payments this week
Another batch of direct payments started processing Friday and should arrive in Americans' bank accounts or mailboxes soon, according to an IRS news release.
Payments should arrive as early as Wednesday for Americans receiving direct deposits. A large number of payments in this batch will be checks, which should arrive in mailboxes in the "coming weeks," the IRS said Monday.
The first 90 million payments, announced by the IRS last week, were disbursed to eligible Americans, but the news release Monday did not say how many payments are being processed in the second batch.
Some of the mailed payments will come on pre-paid debit cards while others will be sent as a check -- which will not feature the president's name, according to photos the IRS released. Checks sent out in 2020 as part of the CARES Act displayed former President Donald Trump's name and included a letter with his signature.
