What If You Missed the Deadline to Get a Stimulus Check Directly Deposited?

For most Americans, May 13 was the last day to provide their direct-deposit information to the IRS so they could get their coronavirus stimulus check put straight into their bank account. COVID-19 payments were authorized by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act for short) and are worth as much as $1,200 per qualifying adult and $500 per eligible dependent. If you missed out on providing your bank account details to the IRS, that doesn't mean you won't get your money.
