Another round of stimulus checks (also called economic impact payments) are being issued by the federal government.
You’ll get a stimulus check if you meet these four requirements:
This is the second round of federal payments. If you’re still waiting on your first payment under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act from March, you may still be eligible. Read more on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website.
If you were not required to file taxes, you’re still eligible to receive money if you fit the above criteria.
If you made less than $75,000 ($150,000 for married couples) on your 2020 tax return and were not claimed as a dependent by someone else, you’ll be eligible for $600. If you made between $75,000 and $87,000 on your most recently reported income year, you’ll receive a reduced payment.
Families with children 16 or under will receive an additional $600 for each child who qualifies.
The government will send you the money via direct deposit or check based on the method you chose in your most recent tax filing. Please check the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) website frequently for updates related to the current economic stimulus payments.
Most people will receive their payment via an ACH direct deposit to the bank account where they receive their SSI, SSA, or other payments, such as a tax refund from the IRS.
If you didn’t connect your bank account to your tax return with the IRS, you’ll receive a paper check. Checks will take much longer than direct deposit.
We want to help you access your payment as soon as possible. If you’re expecting a payment, we’ll post it right when we get it. As always, we don’t hold on to your deposits.
We can tell you the second it hits your account with push notifications. Turn them on in your Varo app: tap Settings, tap Manage Notifications, then set the slider to on.
If you filed your most recent tax return using your Varo Money bank account and have migrated to the Varo Bank platform, we will automatically transfer the money to your Varo Bank account when the IRS deposits the payment.
