  • The first check totaled $1,200 for eligible taxpayers, the second $600 and the third $1,400. Most Americans received checks, the government said, but those who didn't get the full amount could file for the rebate credit. The IRS estimates that roughly $2.4 billion will be sent to Americans in the coming weeks.

The article from ABC News discusses the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) initiative to distribute $1,200 stimulus checks to approximately 1 million Americans as part of the economic relief efforts in response to the financial impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. These payments are part of a larger $2 trillion stimulus package passed by Congress, aimed at providing financial support to individuals and families. The IRS has been working to identify and reach out to eligible recipients, particularly those who might not typically file tax returns, such as low-income individuals, Social Security beneficiaries, and others not required to file. The article highlights the challenges in ensuring all eligible Americans receive their payments, including issues with outdated information or lack of direct deposit details, and mentions that the IRS is using various methods like direct deposit, mailing checks, and even debit cards to distribute the funds. Additionally, there's mention of potential delays and the ongoing efforts to refine the distribution process to cover as many people as possible.
