Stimulus checks sent to 130M Americans so far. Delayed payments for some Social Security beneficiaries to roll out.

The Internal Revenue Service sent out COVID-19 relief checks to more than 4 million Americans the third round of payments made under President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan, the agency said Thursday.

That brings the total disbursed payments from the latest stimulus package to more than 130 million payments, worth about $335 billion. The payments, which total up to $1,400 each per individual, were distributed mostly by direct deposits and paper checks.

The third batch of payments began processing last Friday, with an official payment date of March 31, with some people receiving direct payments in their accounts earlier as provisional or pending deposits, according to the IRS.

Starting Friday, payments will begin going to Social Security and other federal beneficiaries who didn’t file a 2020 or 2019 tax return and didn’t use the Non-Filers tool last year, the IRS said.

Most of the payments in this batch should be sent and received on April 7th.

1. Kick so more people can see the article

I know a lot of people are still waiting for their stimulus checks/deposits and this article could be reassuring.

My first two stimulus payments came within two days of my Social Security payment, but I have not yet received the 3rd one. According to the article, it should be within the next week hopefully.
