How Will I Get My Money? If you received a payment electronically last time, you’ll receive your money the same way this time. If you received a check by mail last time but have moved since then, the check will either be forwarded to your new address (if you have USPS mail forwarding) or returned to the IRS.

Can a stimulus check be sent to an old account?

According to the IRS, if you have signed on with a new bank or moved since your last filed tax return, your stimulus check could have been sent to your old account or address. The agency has indicated that it has no way of knowing that the account or address has been changed, so you should update that information as soon as possible.

Is there a way to change the address of a stimulus check?

It is worth noting that, according to the IRS’ website, the “Get My Payment” feature will not allow you to change your address — it is only for seeing the status of your check. You can also use a free U.S. Postal service feature called “Informed Delivery” which sends you a picture of your mail as it’s processed through the post office.

Are there any delays to the stimulus checks?

Grow. The latest round of $600 stimulus checks is on the way, but for people who either changed their bank account information or moved recently, the next payment may be delayed. The IRS has already started the process of issuing the checks through direct deposit, and some people have already noticed the payment pending in their accounts.

What to do if you’ve moved since receiving your first stimulus payment?

It’s a little more work to change your address with the IRS. You can notify the IRS by filling out an 8822 form. This might also be a good thing to do if you haven’t received the first stimulus payment. The IRS said you can notify the agency by phone, but the lines will surely be at a high volume. That number is 1-800-919-9835.
