Over the next few weeks, the IRS will be rolling out payments via check and direct deposit. Here are a couple of important things to keep in mind, as stated by the IRS.
- Not everyone will receive their payment at the same time. The IRS is sending out payments in batches. While the first batch of payments has gone out via direct deposit, don’t worry if you haven’t seen it in your account yet. IRS has said that additional batches of payments via direct deposit will be sent in the coming weeks, as well as checks and debit cards.
- Some members may see funds as early as March 16 or 17. The IRS has named March 17th as the “official payment date.” Typically, Scott Credit Union will process payments on the date for which they are submitted. However, our team has been working hard to process these payments early to get this much-needed payment in our members’ hands as quickly as possible. If you are included in the IRS’s first batch of payments, you can expect to see your deposit either Tuesday, March 16 or Wednesday, March 17.
