Today Is the Absolute Last Day to Act if You Don't Want to Wait Months for Your Stimulus Check

COVID-19 stimulus payments have already been distributed to millions of Americans, but the IRS is still sending out money. The payments, worth as much as $1,200 for adults and an additional $500 per dependent child, are either being directly deposited or mailed to eligible Americans.

Direct deposit is a much faster method of receiving the money, but it's available only if the IRS has your bank account on file. And it has now announced that today -- Wednesday, May 13 -- is the last day most people can provide their direct-deposit information if they haven't already done so.
