Time is running out to get your new stimulus check – here’s what you need to do

[Andy Meek]

• The deadline for the IRS and Treasury department to finish sending out millions of Americans a new stimulus check is coming up fast.
• The stimulus check disbursement process is supposed to be finished by Friday, January 15.
• Here are some important details to know about how and when you might receive your new stimulus check, if you haven't already.

The IRS and Treasury Department are scrambling to get as many new stimulus check payments as possible out the door over the next four days, with the January 15 deadline for this new wave of payments fast approaching.

January 15 was the date specified in the recently passed $900 billion COVID relief bill, which was the legislation that made these new $600 stimulus payments possible. Fortunately, the payments this time around have proceeded at a much faster clip than they did in early 2020, when the passage of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act was followed by a stimulus check disbursement process that took many months -- which kind of defeated the whole point of the stimulus checks themselves, which lawmakers meant to get into people's pockets immediately so that the money would be spent quickly and flow back into the economy.
