Note that If you had a change of address recently, you should inform both the IRS and the US Postal Service. The IRS has now sent out more than 161 million stimulus checks with the third round of payments for up to $1,400 per person.
Dependents. SSI and SSDI recipients and veterans receiving VA benefits are among the groups who should have qualified to receive a check this month. While more payments are on the way, individuals and families are still missing money from the first or second stimulus checks and now have less than a month left to claim those funds. Tax Day is less than a week away — on May 17 this year — and if you’ve filed your 2020 tax return and are waiting for your refund to arrive, you can use the IRS tracker tools to get an update on the status of your money.
