The Department of Treasury has started processing the one-time direct payment, $1,200 per single filer or $2,400 for joint filers, part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act that I supported. Some people will start receiving their payment as early as this week through direct deposit if their account information is already on file with the IRS. If you don’t have direct deposit set up with the IRS, you will receive your payment in the form of a check, which the IRS will start sending out next month.

Additionally, anyone who receives a Social Security check will receive their payment consistent with how they already receive their social security check through direct deposit or a check in the mail.

If you do not usually file a tax return, please visit the IRS online portal in order to submit your direct deposit information.
