3. What is the process of getting a Stimulus Check?
Similar to the initial round of payments, you likely won’t have to do anything to be given a second payment. Taxpayers who already filed their taxes in 2019 did not need to register or sign up whatsoever to get a payment under the CARES Act. Non-filers simply needed to provide the Treasury Department with the essential information to determine eligibility through a tool on the IRS site. They can also file their taxes by contacting a tax preparation service to do this job for them.

Americans who obtained direct deposit during the first round of obligations seemed to get their payment considerably faster than those who obtained their payment through the mail. In a few instances, the IRS wants your bank account number for electronic transactions of payments, but it’s not clear whether that could be a substitute for your HEALS Act payments too.
