Didn’t Receive Your $600 Stimulus Money? Prepaid Debit Cards Going Out This Week
January 8, 2021
Starting this week, the Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service are sending approximately 8 million second Economic Impact Payments (EIPs) by prepaid debit card.
These EIP Cards follow the millions of payments already made by direct deposit and the ongoing mailing of paper checks that are delivering the second round of Economic Impact Payments as rapidly as possible.
For those who don’t receive a direct deposit, they should watch their mail for either a paper check or a prepaid debit card. To speed delivery of the payments to reach as many people as soon as possible the Treasury’s Bureau of Fiscal Service is sending payments out by prepaid debit card.
IRS and Treasury urge eligible people who don’t receive a direct deposit to watch their mail carefully during this period. The prepaid debit card, called the Economic Impact Payment card, is sponsored by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service and is issued by Treasury’s financial agent, MetaBank, N.A.
Taxpayers should note that the form of payment for the second mailed EIP may be different than the first mailed EIP. Some people who received a paper check last time might receive a prepaid debit card this time, and some people who received a prepaid debit card last time may receive a paper check.
EIP Cards are being sent in a white envelope that prominently displays the U.S. Department of the Treasury seal. The EIP Card has the Visa name on the front of the Card and the issuing bank name, MetaBank, N.A. on the back of the card. Each mailing will include instructions on how to securely activate and use the EIP Card.

I get daily USPS notifications of my mail deliveries to my PO Box. On Jan 9th, it showed I should receive my EIP card. I still have not received it. I checked with our Postmaster and have been told over and over , I should be receiving it any day……..
You can check the status of payments at this website. I got the first one direct deposit, but the second one, I am still waiting. Says on their site. They are still working on it, or I don’t qualify for the second payment. Guess will wait, and see.

I got the first direct deposit, but nothing shows for this second one yet.
June R, you can go online to the website on the back of the card and have the entire amount transferred to your bank or credit union account. I did this and there was no fee.
I believe you can also use it at ATM machines.
