Stimulus "Check" can come as a debit card

Are you still waiting for your stimulus money? The latest payments are causing a lot of confusion. In fact, some people think the new envelope looks like junk mail and tossed it in the garbage.  Across the country, some 4 million people are still waiting for their stimulus checks. The Department of Treasury and IRS sent out the last batch on May 18 but in another new twist, instead of paper checks, the stimulus checks are now debit cards.  If you are missing your stimulus check, look for an envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services.” The letter says it’s from the Department of Treasury. It has a debit card attached to it that says it’s issued by “MetaBank.” Then there are steps for how to create a pin and activate it online.

Like the check, please handle it safely so no one scams you out of it.
