Hello, I am not living in the us anymore. I would like to get a check sent to a family member in Chicago.

The IRS will not make a direct deposit to a foreign bank but they will mail a check to you in your country.  Why send it to Chicago?  That would involve the confusion of someone here having to convince a bank official to cash a U.S. Treasury check for them that is in someone else's name--not a good plan.
