As with the economic impact payments (EIPs) issued under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will work to deliver these additional EIPs quickly in the form of advance payments. The IRS will endeavor to make automatic payments in late 2020/early 2021 to eligible individuals who (a) filed a federal income tax return for 2019, (b) registered for the first round of payments through the IRS’s non-filer portal, or (c) receive Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Railroad Retirement Board (RRB), or Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits. These payments will be based on payment or address information already on file with the IRS, Social Security Administration, RRB, or VA.
Electronic distributions will automatically be made to an account the payee authorized on January 1, 2019 or later. Individuals who do not receive an advance payment automatically will be able to claim a credit for their EIP amount on their 2020 federal income tax return.

As you may be aware, the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 was passed in congress and awaits the approval of the President on or before December 28, 2020. If enacted into law, this bill includes relief programs impacting SBA funding, additional Payroll Protection Program (PPP) resources, and stimulus checks for households meeting income requirements.

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service announced the distribution of economic impact payments to help Americans combat the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The stimulus package will result in approximately 150 million EIP being made, with disbursements commencing mid-April. The U.S. Treasury has made it a priority to transmit as many of these payments by ACH as possible, relying on checks when ACH information is unavailable. Anticipated timing for EIP is as follows:
- ACH Round One: Week of April 13th
- ACH Round Two: Week of April 22nd
- ACH Round Three: Week of April 29th
- Potential for additional ACH rounds of stimulus payments: Over time
- U.S. Treasury Check Payments Round One: Week of April 20th (subject to change).
