Coronavirus Stimulus Check - Be Careful for Scammers!

Scammers are trying to scam people out of the Coronavirus Stimulus Check. Remember the following about receiving your check:

  1. You don’t need to do anything. 
  2. Do not give anyone your personal information to "sign-up” for your relief check. There is nothing to sign up for.
  3. If you didn’t set up direct deposit for your taxes in 2018 or 2019, you can set up direct deposit of your check by communicating only with the IRS at irs.gov/coronavirus.
  4. No one has early access to this money. Anyone that claims to is a scammer.

To get official updates and more information, visit the IRS’s page on economic impact payments. And if you come across a scammer trying to take your check, report it at ftc.gov/complaint.
