The Internal Revenue Service announced Friday that the third round of federal stimulus checks would go out “over the next week.”
The IRS confirmed to Fox Business on Saturday that March 17 is the official payment date, though some banks have started processing the checks, so payments may show up earlier in some accounts and later in others.
More payments will be sent “in the coming weeks by direct deposit” or in the mail as checks or debit cards, though the “vast majority” will be direct deposits, the IRS said in a Friday press release.
