Over 80 Million Americans Will Receive Economic Impact
Payments in their Bank Accounts This Week
April 13, 2020

WASHINGTON—Millions of Americans are starting to see Economic Impact Payments deposited
directly in their bank accounts. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and IRS expect tens of
millions of Americans will receive their payments via direct deposit by Wednesday, April 15.
These payments are being automatically issued to eligible 2019 or 2018 federal tax return filers
who received a refund using direct deposit. Treasury and the IRS worked with unprecedented
speed to get this fast and direct assistance to the American people.
“We are pleased that many Americans are receiving their Economic Impact Payments,” said
Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. “This Administration is delivering fast and direct economic
assistance to hardworking Americans, and we hope these payments will bring them muchneeded relief.”
This week, the IRS will launch a separate online application, “Get My Payment.” This FREE app
allows taxpayers who filed their tax return in 2018 or 2019 but did not provide their banking
information on their return to submit direct deposit information so they can receive payments
immediately, as opposed to getting mailed checks which will start being distributed before the
end of April. “Get My Payment” will also allow taxpayers to track the status of their payment.
Treasury expects a large majority of eligible Americans will receive Economic Impact Payments
within the next two weeks.
Non-filers can get their payment faster by using the ‘Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here’ web
portal and entering their bank account information.
Also, eligible Social Security beneficiaries and railroad retirement recipients who did not file a
tax return in 2018 and 2019 will be automatically sent their economic impact payments,
primarily electronically.
Regardless of how you receive your payment, the IRS will send you a mailed letter to the most
current address they have on file approximately 15 days a er it sends your payment.
