Mnuchin. “These payments are an integral part of our commitment to providing much-needed relief to the American people during this unprecedented time.” The last time a similar effort was undertaken, it took over two months to make 800,000 payments. Of the Economic Impact Payments, 120 million were sent to Americans by direct deposit, 35 million by check and 4 million payments were made in the form of a pre-paid debit card.
