COVID-19 Stimulus Check Update

COVID-19 Stimulus Check Update

If you are looking for your federal COVID-19 stimulus check, there are three ways to track it:

1. Log into your online banking account. The government will direct deposit your money into the account that you designated for tax refunds.
2. If the government does not have your account information, a check will be mailed to you.
3. Check the status of your stimulus payment on the new IRS web portal.

Remember to avoid scams related to economic COVID-19 stimulus payments. The IRS will NOT call, text, email or contact you asking for personal or bank account information. Watch out for emails with attachments or links claiming to have special instructions about your payment.
