Democrats in the US House of Representatives passed a massive new coronavirus relief package last week, a $3 trillion bill that, among other things, appropriates money for another round of direct stimulus payments. That would follow the initial round of direct payments that started going out in the wake of the pandemic, which provide up to $1,200 for individual taxpayers and up to $2,400 for married couples (plus $500 for each eligible child).
This week, that money started to be disbursed to some taxpayers in the form of a prepaid debit card, that’s ready to be used immediately, instead of a paper check that would first have to be deposited into a bank account.
