Important FAQ's
Below are important FAQ's that will be useful regarding government benefits and stimulus payment information. For more info please visit IRS.gov.

You can find more info here about our Direct Deposit program.

Those who filed taxes in 2019 or 2018 with an AGI of up to $75,000 for individuals and up to $150,000 for married couples filing joint returns will be eligible to receive the full payment. Eligible taxpayers who filed tax returns for either 2019 or 2018 will automatically receive an economic impact payment of up to $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples and up to $500 for each qualifying child.

If I am not required to file a tax return, am I eligible for a stimulus payment?
Yes! The IRS would use your Form SSA-1099 or Form RRB-1099 to determine whether or not you are eligible for a stimulus check. This pertains to senior citizens, Social Security recipients and railroad retirees. If you fall into one of these categories, you will be getting a $1,200 per person. Since the IRS doesn’t have information regarding dependents, no additional funds would be allocated.
I am currently a College student, am I eligible for a stimulus payment?
This depends. If you are an independent on your most recently filed tax returns, you would be eligible for a stimulus check. If someone claimed you as a dependent on their tax returns, you would not be eligible.
Will my stimulus payment be considered taxable income?
No. The stimulus checks will not be taxable income.
Where is my stimulus check?
Please visit https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments to find out the status of your stimulus check.
Will my stimulus payment arrive earlier than the scheduled delivery date?
GoBank will make your deposit available as soon as possible. Stimulus payments are not eligible for early direct deposit. Please visit irs.gov/coronavirus for more information. For security reasons, the IRS plans to mail a letter about the economic impact payment to the taxpayer's last known address within 15 days after the payment is paid. The letter will provide information on how the payment was made and how to report any failure to receive the payment. If a taxpayer is unsure they’re receiving a legitimate letter, the IRS urges taxpayers to visit IRS.gov first to protect against scam artists.
Misplaced your card or need to order a new one?
