My boyfriend is in jail and he’s trying get his stimulus check

According to the IRS:

 

Is an incarcerated individual eligible for the payment? (updated January 14, 2021)

 Yes, individuals will not be denied Economic Impact Payments solely because they are incarcerated.  An incarcerated individual may be issued a payment if all eligibility requirements are met and the individual filed a 2019 tax return that was processed by the IRS. Eligible incarcerated individuals may claim a 2020 Recovery Rebate Credit on line 30 of their 2020 tax return.  Please refer to the instructions for the 2020 Form 1040 for more information.”
