When will you get a second stimulus check?

Washington CNN — Editor’s note: This story originally ran December 18, 2020. The deal provides for $600 checks, but experts say it will take at least two weeks for the Treasury to get cash into individuals’ bank accounts after legislation is signed. “The timing could be more challenging this time, but the IRS could likely begin to get the money out in January,” said Howard Gleckman, a senior fellow at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center. It took two weeks after the first bill was passed for the IRS to start distributing the money – but some eligible recipients still haven’t received it, months later. While most people received the money automatically, very low-income people who don’t normally file tax returns had to register online before November 21 to provide their address or bank account number.
