Since last week, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began to send 8 million EIP cards prepaid with the amount corresponding to the second stimulus check for $ 600 dollars.
EIP cards are part of payments made by deposit and the sending of paper checks that are being delivered by the second round of stimulus checks to address the economic impact of the Covid- 19, the IRS reported in a statement.
If Get My Payment in IRS shows a date your payment was sent, the IRS recommends let search your mailbox for a paper check or prepaid card. For this purpose, it is essential that you look at the envelope so that you can detect it without any problem.
The beneficiaries must take into account that the form of payment of the second EIP sent by mail may be different from the first EIP sent by mail regarding the first stimulus check. If in doubt, the beneficiary can consult more information about the cards on the official site of the cards .
EIP cards are shipped in a white envelope bearing the seal of the United States Department of the Treasury , this mark is highly visible so that it cannot be confused with other types of correspondence.
The EIP card has the Visa distinctive on the front of the card and the name of the issuing bank, MetaBank®, NA on the back of the card. Each email will include instructions on how to safely activate and use the EIP card. EIP cards are issued to eligible recipients in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
