Congress has passed new legislation to provide a $1.9 trillion relief package providing aid to Americans continuing to struggle with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This legislation includes a new round of stimulus checks as well as other forms of aid. The new round of stimulus checks will be in varying amounts based upon IRS criteria. Eligible individuals may begin to receive these stimulus payments as early as the third week of March, 2021 by either direct deposit or as a check. 

If you have questions regarding your eligibility or the criteria for stimulus payments, please visit IRS.gov/coronavirus to learn more. Please note: the IRS site will be updated as new information becomes available; please check back periodically.


We know that receiving this financial assistance is vital and we’re here to provide guidance and assistance along the way. Here are some frequently asked questions to help:
Eligibility is different for everyone and is outlined by the IRS.
 
Please visit the IRS website to see if you are eligible to receive a payment. Please note: the IRS site will be updated as new information becomes available; please check back periodically.
If you’re eligible to receive a payment, it will either be received as a direct deposit right into the account you used when you filed your taxes, or you will receive a check by mail.
 

Direct deposits to eligible individuals may take a few weeks for all stimulus payments to be sent by the IRS to financial institutions for deposit.

For those receiving payment by check, checks are also expected to be delivered over several weeks beginning in January 2021.
