The last day to use the IRS Get My Payment app and receive your stimulus check via direct deposit is Wednesday, May 13.
The IRS portal's Get My Payment app launched on April 15 to help Americans out in two main ways: The tool allows users to track the status of their stimulus checks, and to provide the agency with their bank direct deposit information — so that the payments can be delivered in the fastest way possible.
The stimulus checks (or "Economic Impact Payments" in IRS lingo) are payments worth up to $1,200 per adult and $500 per eligible child that are part of Congress's $2 trillion CARES Act, passed to provide relief in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
