Millions of Americans were slated to receive $1200 payments or more from the government this week but many are reporting they received the wrong amount, or that they never received any payment at all, problems the U.S. Treasury says are a result of technical issues that will be ironed out soon.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that many Americans who had given their direct deposit information over to the Internal Revenue Service in their 2018 or 2019 tax returns could expect to receive the stimulus payments deposited directly into their bank accounts this week.
Instead, glitches are preventing many Americans, especially those who use tax preparers, parents of dependent children, and people with 2019 returns, from seeing the money deposited into their bank account.
Officials at the I.R.S. and Treasury say that they are aware of the problems and are working to fix them; so far, the I.R.S. has processed almost 80 million stimulus check payments.
