To @kraal It has to ALSO meet the criteria besides the insurance. But also read that someone already received a refund on their card so who knows what will happen I haven’t read the prepaid card agreements to see how your card is set up nor am I aware of the irs rules of how it is determined the refund will send. Systematically is it programmed in the routing number is it a separate system used to determined if meets the regular banking rules ultimately it will be processed according to IRS standards of which prepaid card transacts thru a third party or not. I do know that all articles I read stated if you used a prepaid card to receive your refund via mail etc. However I did just find this info:
Some Debit Cards Are Eligible to Receive Payments
Debit cards that are used by many tax preparation companies such as H&R Block and Intuit’s TurboTax as well as the Direct Express programs do qualify to receive these direct payments. That’s because these cards (H&R Block’s Emerald Card, Direct Express and TurboTax’s debit card) are linked to an actual bank account (with routing numbers) and all should qualify for the economic stimulus direct payment. This is relatively new information.
