Survival checks provided by the American Rescue Plan have arrived in the bank accounts and mailboxes of over 156 million Americans, including our neighbors on Social Security and SSDI. Most of these payments have arrived electronically.
The latest round of payments that are being sent out this week are for veterans and their beneficiaries who receive Compensation and Pension (C&P) benefit payments and who don’t normally file a tax return. Most payments will be automatically deposited into banks accounts or loaded onto the Direct Express cards where veterans receive their benefits. Those waiting on paper checks or debit cards through the mail should expect to receive their payments over the next several days. In most cases, these payments are automatic and no action is necessary to receive them.
If you have not received your payment yet, you can use the “Get My Payment” tool from IRS.gov to check the status.
