VISA cards being mailed out for Stimulus checks

By Terry Savage on March 24, 2021 | Wild Card

I just watched your clip on WGN and heard that the stimulus $$ might come via mail and a visa card???? Also, the outside of the envelope annotates that is what is inside???? Why would they do this, my father’s mail has been a mess and he gets other peoples mail often and what if his card goes to someone else and they can use it, correct? Is there any protection on those that you know of?

Terry Says

Yes, the card must be securely activated. But if your father collects Social Security, it will likely come by direct deposit to his account where he receives benefits. Just keep watching his mail. You will also get a letter from the IRS saying the card or check has been sent. If you get that letter, but not the card, then go to EIPCard.com and ask them to send a new one.
