The IRS reported that it is mailing 8 million prepaid cards loaded corresponding to the second stimulus check for $ 600 dollars , so he advised beneficiaries to be watch out for the envelopes they will send if the funds are not deposited directly into their bank accounts .
The tax agency also said it changed the envelopes to make it more apparent that they include the check for $ 600 dollars, which Congress approved to late December as a way to offer millions of Americans additional financial relief as the economy struggles to recover by the ravages of the pandemic.
Some people discarded their prepaid cards with the first stimulus check because the envelopes were not clearly marked as coming from the IRS or the Department of Treasure. The IRS said the last batch of cards will be mailed in a white envelope with a label that “prominently displays” the Treasury seal .
“The IRS and the Treasury urge eligible individuals who do not receive direct deposit to monitor their mail carefully during this period, ”the IRS said in a statement. The government body delivered the amount of the second checks to bank accounts this week, providing $ 600 to each Eligible adult and child .

The IRS said people should not assume they will receive their stimulus payment in the mail through the same method they did in the spring, with the Cares Act for coronavirus, which provided $ 1, 200 dollars for each eligible adult and $ 500 per child.
It is recommended that all doubts or clarifications by the beneficiaries for this second round of delivery of stimulus checks go to the IRS to find out their status. It is important to remember that the only way to obtain the second check is through this governmental body.
