Good News: You Can Track Your Stimulus Check Starting This Week
COVID-19 has spurred an economic crisis as well as a health-related one. To help address the former, in late March, a $2 trillion economic stimulus package was signed into law that includes, among other provisions, a one-time $1,200 payment for eligible Americans whose income falls below a certain threshold. The package also calls for a $500 payment for dependent children who are under age 17. As such, those who expect to collect a stimulus payment are eagerly anticipating its arrival. And starting this week, you may be able to track your stimulus payment so you'll know exactly when it'll hit your bank account.
The IRS is expected to have an online tracking tool you can use to check the status of your stimulus payment up and running by April 17. Since there's no single, uniform date for when those payments will arrive, having that information will help you plan financially.
