This IRS FAQ My payment was mailed but my post office was unable to deliver it. states:
Once we receive your payment back, you may be able to provide your bank account information in Get My Payment to have your payment reissued as a direct deposit.
If this is the case, then Get My Payment will show “Need More Information,” usually two to three weeks after the payment is issued. At this point, you can enter a routing and account number for your bank account, prepaid debit card or alternative financial product that has a routing and account number associated with it.
If you do not provide account information, your payment will be reissued when we receive an updated address.
