Watch your mail closely, if you still haven’t received your stimulus money from Uncle Sam. For some, it’s coming in a plain white envelope.
You may even think it’s junk mail — maybe one of those unwanted credit card applications. But don’t throw it away. Inside that envelope — that has the return address “Money Network Cardholder Services” — is your economic stimulus from the IRS, in the form of a debit card rather than a paper check.
There’s a note inside, explaining how your economic impact payment card works. You create a pin, and use it just like a debit card.

The IRS said those who receive their Economic Impact Payment by prepaid debit card can do the following without any fees:

- Transfer money to their personal bank account
- Check their card balance online, by mobile app or by phone
