The $600 stimulus checks from the latest Covid relief bill are officially on their way to bank accounts, according to two tweets from Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday evening.
Checks could have arrived as early as Tuesday evening for those who have direct deposit, according to Mnuchin. The IRS also confirmed that initial direct deposits began on Tuesday and will continue through next week.
“Some Americans may see the direct deposit payments as pending or as provisional payments in their accounts before the official payment date of Jan. 4, 2021,” the IRS wrote in a statement Tuesday.
