Stimulus Check Update: More Than 2.3 Million Additional Stimulus Payments Distributed Last Week

The American Rescue Plan Act made most Americans eligible for a $1,400 stimulus check when it passed into law and was signed by President Joe Biden in March of 2021. In fact, the agency is both distributing full payments to people who haven't gotten any stimulus money yet, as well as sending additional "plus-up" payments to people who were short-changed. 1.1 million "plus-up" payments to individuals who had received partial payments but who were entitled to more money than they'd been sent.
