More Third Stimulus Check Payments Sent This Week

If you didn't receive a first wave last week, your payment might be in the second batch being issued this week. The second batch included 37 million new payments, bringing the total disbursed third-round payments so far to approximately 127 million (worth approximately $325 billion). For Americans receiving a direct deposit payment, the "official payment date" for the latest batch of deposits was March 24. (If a "pending" or "provisional" payment showed up in your bank account earlier this week, you should have access to the funds by now.)
