Government - Stimulus check tracking site goes live

Stimulus check tracking site goes live ….The Internal Revenue Service has said that the first batch of stimulus checks started hitting consumers’ bank accounts. The “Get My Payment” service went live on Wednesday at IRS.gov.  It allows consumers to check their payment status, confirm whether they prefer direct deposit or a paper check and enter their bank account information for direct deposit if the IRS doesn’t have it yet.

Additionally, the Department of Revenue is encouraging Pennsylvanians to take steps to protect themselves from scams that are targeting people who are expecting a stimulus payment from the federal government.
