Are you eagerly awaiting your stimulus check?
There’s a way to track when it will hit your bank account.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) created an online tool called “get my payment” that can be used to check on the status of your money.
It launched Wednesday and is available on the IRS website.
You will need to enter your Social Security number, date of birth and mailing address in order to track your payment.
The first payments will go to those who have already filed their 2018 or 2019 tax returns and authorized the IRS to make a direct deposit if they were due a refund.
Within that group, the agency is starting with those who have the lowest incomes.
Social Security recipients will also automatically receive their payments even if they haven’t filed a return.
