Anyone who doesn't have to file HAS TO fil out a NON FILERS form with IRS. Or you won't get a check.
Its easy just go to site answer 6v questions.They don't know your direct info if you haven't filed.

I haven't filed in several years and I got mine. They deposit it to the account your social security check is deposited into.

The information about having to fill out a non filers' form is out of date. They changed that for those who get a social security check, and no non filers' form is required.
 
I don't know why I got a paper check. I sent in payment for my taxes for last year & the routing number was on my check.

Have those seniors here who receive direct deposit for their Social Security benefits, received your stimulus deposit yet? Did you file taxes last year? Yesterday my SS was deposited into my account, but I have not yet received the stimulus, and we did file last year. I can wait, even if they send a check by mail, but I was curious if others here received theirs yet. Please take the poll.

I've seen the idea in a few places but the proposed ABC Act was one that intended to use a debit card to load stimulus funds monthly. I think that the ABC bill has lost traction and been replaced.

The ABC Act is a universal basic income program, so it wouldn’t cut off eligibility at a certain income level, and every American would receive the benefit. It would disburse funds through a prepaid debit card, so those without bank accounts could receive help as well.

Thanks for the info, @AuntBea. I hadn't heard about it.
 
Yes, debit cards coming to the people who have NOT received any stimulus money yet.

Treasury Department says it will begin sending out debit cards to millions of Americans this week loaded with their stimulus payment.
  • The cards, issued by MetaBank, will be sent to people who did not provide the IRS with banking information and whose tax return was processed at IRS centers in Austin and Andover.
  • The cards can be used to withdraw cash from an ATM, transfer funds to a bank account, issue a check, or make purchases wherever Visa is accepted.
  • The government cannot track purchases you make on the card.

Hey @CeeCee ... first, happy to see you around here! .... :)

The 'wave' of money is all about the initial stimulus package. .. I'm confusing people I guess. Not unusual for me!!
The debt cards are going to people who didn't already get direct deposit or a check in the mail in April or early May.

Thanks, I’m happy to be here, feel better emotionally today, time is going faster too.

I probably misread what you said, thought I read something in the news about talk of another one..so I assumed it had passed

Probably depends on if the economy gets rolling ahead or not.

Thanks for the update, Bonnie. I still haven't received my check and even after trying all of the tricks that are supposed to help, "Get My Payment" still gives no information. I figure I haven't received it yet because I'm not on Social Security and used TurboTax. The husband, who is on Social Security, received his at the end of April. Although debit cards seem like a pain compared to a simple check, I won't complain if it ever shows up. At this point, I've kind of given up.

Don't give up -- keep after it! It's too much money to give up on.
