Ask Terry Questions stimulus check

stimulus check

By Terry Savage on August 11, 2020 | Wild Card

hello Terry, I am a retired tax payer and I haven’t received stimulus check, are they still processing checks?

Terry Says

They are still processing checks — but if you filed a 2018 or 2019 tax return you should have received yours by now. And if you receive Social Security (which I assume is possible because you say you’re retired!) it should have been direct deposited in that account.

Did your spouse die in the past year? That’s another reason your check might have been delayed. Ever since the IRS realized it was sending out checks to deceased people on joint returns, it has held up those checks.

If none of the above applies, read the instructions linked here.
