Do you meet the requirements for a stimulus payment, but you're still waiting on your check from the IRS.

The IRS said it'll step up its payment schedule through the end of June and has already sent more than 150 million checks so far.

In April, the IRS estimated (PDF) it could take up to 20 weeks to send every payment out and it is prioritizing the payment schedule by sending checks to those with lowest incomes first.

If the IRS was already preparing to mail your paper check when you provided your banking information online, you'll still receive your check in the mail.

The benefit of direct deposit, the IRS said, was you'd get your check quicker than through the mail.

Now that the deadline is passed, the IRS said it will start sending paper checks and debit cards to those it doesn't have banking information for, from the end of May through June.

The IRS said it's using banking information from your 2018 or 2019 tax return to send your payment.

If for whatever reason, the banking information the IRS has for you is not valid, the agency says it will mail you your check.

If you think that is you, head to the IRS' website, check the requirements and then provide some basic information to get your stimulus check.
