Check Your Bank Account: COVID Checks To Start Hitting Bank Accounts This Weekend

(Washington, DC) — Many Americans will be checking their bank accounts this weekend as the first wave of 14-hundred-dollar stimulus payments go out electronically. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the payments to eligible Americans will continue over the next several weeks. The checks are part of the coronavirus relief bill that President Biden signed into law on Thursday. Americans who make 80-thousand or less per year, or couples who make 160-thousand or less, are eligible for a one-time payment of up to 14-hundred dollars, plus an extra 14-hundred for each dependent child. Checks delivered by mail will take longer to arrive.
