"🚨Next Stimulus Check Date 2021: When to Expect Your Payment"

Next Stimulus Check Date 2021: What We Know So Far

As the United States continues to navigate the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans are eagerly awaiting news on the next stimulus check. The American Rescue Plan, signed into law by President Biden on March 11, 2021, includes a third round of Economic Impact Payments (EIPs), commonly referred to as stimulus checks. Here's what we know so far about the next stimulus check date in 2021.

Who Will Receive the Next Stimulus Check?

The American Rescue Plan expands the scope of eligibility for the next stimulus check compared to previous rounds. Individuals with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples filing jointly up to $150,000 will receive the full amount. The payment phases out for incomes above these thresholds, reaching zero for individuals with incomes of $80,000 or more and married couples with incomes of $160,000 or more.

Dependents are also eligible for the next stimulus check, including adult dependents and child dependents under the age of 18. The amount for each dependent is $1,400.

How Much Will the Next Stimulus Check Be?

The next stimulus check will be for up to $1,400 for each eligible individual, including dependents. This means that a family of four could potentially receive up to $5,600 in total.

However, the exact amount each individual or family receives may vary depending on their income and the phaseout rules. The IRS will use the latest tax return available to determine eligibility and payment amounts.

When Will the Next Stimulus Check Be Sent?

The IRS began sending out the third round of stimulus checks on March 12, 2021. However, the exact date when your check will be sent depends on several factors, including your payment method and the IRS's processing timeline.

Here's a rough timeline of when you can expect to receive your next stimulus check:

• Direct deposit: If you provided your bank account information to the IRS, you may receive your payment within a few days of the March 12 start date.
• Paper check: If you did not provide your bank account information to the IRS, you may receive a paper check or a prepaid debit card in the mail. The IRS has stated that it may take several weeks to process and mail these payments.
• EIP Card: Some individuals may receive an Economic Impact Payment Card (EIP Card) in the mail. If you received an EIP Card for a previous payment, you may receive one for the next stimulus check as well.

What If I Haven't Received My Next Stimulus Check?

If you haven't received your next stimulus check yet, there are a few things you can do:

• Check the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool to see the status of your payment.
• Ensure that the IRS has your correct bank account information on file. If you need to update your direct deposit information, you can do so using the IRS's "Get My Payment" tool.
• Wait for the payment to be processed. The IRS has stated that it may take several weeks to process and mail payments.
• Contact the IRS if you believe there may be an issue with your payment. You can call the IRS's toll-free number at 1-800-908-4183.

What If I'm Still Waiting for My Previous Stimulus Check?

If you're still waiting for your first or second stimulus check, you may need to claim the missing payment as a Recovery Rebate Credit on your 2020 tax return. You can do this by filing a tax return even if you don't usually file.

The IRS has stated that it will continue to issue payments for the first and second rounds of stimulus checks through the end of 2021. If you believe you may be eligible for a previous stimulus check, you can use the IRS's Recovery Rebate Credit tool to determine your eligibility and claim the credit on your tax return.
