Here’s how you can check the status of your COVID-19 stimulus relief check

With a lot of people waiting on the third stimulus check, the IRS has a tool to let you know when you will get yours.

It is called the “Get My Payment” tool.

If you click the link, you will come to a form where you will be asked to enter some of your information, like Social Security number and address.

Once you click “submit,” you will see a page that will tell you when your payment will process. If it says “not available,” the IRS said you should keep checking the tracker regularly for updates.

The payments are worth up to $1,400 per person and are part of the COVID-19 relief package President Joe Biden signed last Thursday.

A family of four making less than $150,000 a year would get a $5,600 check.

While direct deposits will go out first, the IRS said paper checks and prepaid debit cards will be sent out before the end of the month.

The money is expected to reach about 90% of families nationwide.
