Like everything the federal government does, there was no foresight involved with the passing of this latest stimulus bill. Like many, our family has been hit hard and every penny helps.
But...
We have moved AND changed banks. Fortunately, if you have a closed account with the last bank account on record with the IRS, the bank will return the check. Unfortunately, if it is returned they will send it by US mail (which is abysmally slow at the moment) to the last address you had on record with the IRS. I'm guessing that any payments that are actually issued to us will take many, many months of bureaucratic hurdle after bureaucratic hurdle to secure. It would be nice if the IRS had some sort of way of updating personal information, like every other entity with an online presence on planet Earth, at any time...not just during a pandemic. I digress. This is how the federal government operates, negligent and devoid of the slightest morsel of logistics.
If anyone has any advice, I would love to hear it. Sadly, I'm afraid it is too early in the game of this 2nd round for any steps to be taken.
