The new batch included more than 960,000 payments representing more than $1.8 billion. About 500,000 of those payments were made via direct deposit, while the rest were via paper check.
The payments included about 460,000 plus-up payments worth more than $800 million to people who were due additional money once the IRS processed their 2020 tax returns.
It also included more than 500,000 checks, representing more than $1 billion, to people who the IRS did not previously have on record, and who recently filed tax returns.
What to do if you re still missing a payment
If you have not received your $1,400 stimulus check or the previous two $1,200 or $600 checks you can still claim the money by filing a federal tax return.
Everyone knows someone who is horrible with money; some friend or acquaintance who is always up to their neck in credit card debt no matter how much money they earn. You probably try to avoid seeing this person as much as possible because it’s always the same old story when you do. Sadly, rather than remove these people from our lives, we’ve elected them to Congress and they keep sticking us with the check.
This isn’t about Republicans or Democrats, they’re both horrible when it comes to spending. The only differences between the two parties on spending is Republicans pretend to be responsible when they’re not in power, Democrats don’t even bother anymore. That makes Republicans slightly less horrible on spending, which is a little like ranking history’s greatest monsters based on the method of destruction.
