Who Has Gotten Their Second "Stimulus Check" ??

[billt]

Mine came yesterday, and I almost cut the damn thing up, because I thought it was another come on for a credit card. It didn't have any standout markings saying it was from the government. It was a Visa card with both me and my wife's name on it. With one of those tapes across the card with a, "call to activate" 1-888 number on it. We get them all the time.

As it turns out, now they appear to be sending your benefit via credit card that you must call to activate, before you are able to access the benefits.... $600.00 / $1,200.00. I'm assuming this is done for fraud purposes. (Live people cashing dead people's checks, etc.). Part of the activation process requires you to enter your Social Security Number.

So after my wife did that, I drove down to the bank and had it deposited into our account. She wanted my debit card, drivers license, along with the Visa, "Welfare Card". It all went right into our savings account without any issues. But I'm assuming you could just, "spend it as you go" at stores and such until you ran it dry. We'll keep the card for a few weeks, just to be safe, in case something didn't register right with all of this electronic rigmarole. But after I got home my wife checked our balance, and it showed a $1,200.00 increase. So all is well.

I just thought I'd mention it. So if any of you weren't expecting a credit card, DON'T CUT IT UP!

I never got direct deposit on either this, or the last one. (The last one we got checks via. snail mail). I have direct deposit for my Arizona state income tax, but I always have to pay the Feds. So that's most likely why we got the Visa card.

There’s a .gov site where you can enter your DD info if you don’t file your taxes electronically.  There’s a 100% chance there’s more on the way! 

Note:  Even if you’re paying a tax you still have to enter deposit info with the IRS.

I file electronically every year. But they never used the information. At least as far as direct deposit. Perhaps because they've never given me an actual refund? I really couldn't say one way or the other. God, knows what the Federal government does... Or why? All I know is as of now I've gotten everything I was supposed to get. What Biden does is anyone's guess.

Direct Deposit a couple days after approved.

Billt, don't you efile your taxes?  These giveaways are the best reason I have seen for efile.  No wondering if I should endorse a check or activate a debit card.  It just shows up in your account.

I don't get one, but almost every one I know got theirs direct deposit

I don't, but my accountant does. I can't remember the last time I filed snail mail.
