Surprising Facts About IRS Stimulus Checks

Here are some 'fried' (fun, surprising, or little-known) facts about IRS stimulus checks (Economic Impact Payments) from the COVID-19 era:

🔥 1. The IRS Sent Payments to Dead People

In 2020, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that nearly $1.4 billion in stimulus checks went to deceased individuals. The IRS later tried to claw back these payments.

🔥 2. Some People Got Stimulus Money in Strange Forms

While most received direct deposits or paper checks, some got prepaid debit cards (EIP Cards) in unmarked envelopes—leading many to mistake them for junk mail and throw them away!

🔥 3. Prisoners Were Eligible (At First)

Initially, incarcerated people qualified for stimulus checks, leading to over $100 million being sent to prisoners. The IRS later sued some states to return the money.

🔥 4. The Fastest Money Printing in U.S. History

The IRS distributed $270 billion in the first round (2020) in just weeks—faster than any previous stimulus program.

🔥 5. Stimulus Checks Had Trump’s Name On Them

For the first time in history, paper stimulus checks bore a president’s signature (Donald Trump’s). This caused controversy, as IRS payments typically don’t include political names.

🔥 6. Some People Still Haven’t Claimed Their Money

Millions of Americans, especially those who don’t file taxes, may still be eligible for unclaimed stimulus funds through the Recovery Rebate Credit.

🔥 7. Stimulus Checks Led to a Surge in Scams

The IRS reported thousands of fraud cases, with scammers impersonating the IRS via calls, texts, and emails to steal payment info.

🔥 8. The Third Stimulus Was the Biggest—Up to $1,400 Per Person

The American Rescue Plan (2021) sent up to $1,400 per individual, including dependents (even adult ones, unlike previous rounds).

🔥 9. Some States Added Their Own Stimulus Payments

States like California sent extra 'Golden State Stimulus' checks, and others like Florida gave bonuses to teachers and first responders.

🔥 10. The IRS Used Old Tax Returns—Causing Delays

Many people who had recently moved or changed bank accounts faced delays because the IRS relied on outdated info.

Would you believe some people even tried to sue over stimulus check delays? Wild times!
