Economic Impact Payment by Pre-Paid Debit Card

If you’re still waiting to receive a paper stimulus check from the IRS, you may get a prepaid debit card instead.

Nearly 4 million people are being sent their Economic Impact Payment by prepaid debit card instead of a paper check. These debit cards will arrive in a plain envelope from "Money Network Cardholder Services."

If you have questions about your stimulus payment, your best bet is to check out the IRS’s Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page at irs.gov/coronavirus. You can call the IRS instead, but expect a VERY long wait/hold time since their staffing is still quite limited. If you do want to call the IRS, the number is 1-800-919-9835.
