Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory illness caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2. Symptoms often include cough, shortness of breath, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell. Our understanding of how the virus spreads is evolving as we learn more about it, so check the CDC website for the latest information. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person:
Through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks
Recent studies indicate that the virus can be spread by people who are not showing symptoms. It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes. This is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, but we are still learning more about this virus. Older adults and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions may be at higher risk for more serious complications from COVID-19.As a long-haul truck driver, how can I protect myself and slow the spread?

Under the CARES Act, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has
been issuing Economic Impact Payments (stimulus checks) as part of the economic
relief effort. The Internal Revenue Service announced significant enhancements
to the “Get My Payment” tool to deliver an improved and smoother experience for
Americans eligible to receive Economic Impact Payments.
The enhancements, which started last month, adjusted several
items related to the online tool, which debuted on April 15. The additional
changes will help millions of additional taxpayers with new or expanded
information and access to adding direct deposit information.
“We delivered Get My Payment with new capabilities that did
not exist during any similar relief program, including the ability to receive
direct deposit information that accelerates payments to millions of people,”
said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “These further enhancements will help even
more taxpayers. We urge people who haven’t received a payment date yet to visit
Get My Payment again for the latest information. IRS teams worked long hours to
deliver Get My Payment in record time, and we will continue to make
improvements to help Americans.”
“We encourage people to check back in and visit Get My
Payment,” Rettig added. “These enhancements will help many taxpayers. By using
Get My Payment now, more people will be able to get payments quickly by being
able to add direct deposit information.”
How to use Get My
Payment
Available only on IRS.gov,
the online application is safe and secure to use. Taxpayers need a few pieces
of information to quickly obtain the status of their payment and, where needed,
provide their bank account information. Having a copy of their most recent tax
return can help speed the process.
For taxpayers to track the status of their payment, this
feature will show taxpayers the scheduled delivery date by direct deposit or
mail and the last four digits of the bank account being used if the IRS has
direct deposit information. They will need to enter basic information
including:
Social Security number
Date of birth, and
Mailing address used on their tax return.
Taxpayers needing to add their bank account information to
speed receipt of their payment will also need to provide the following
additional information:
Their Adjusted Gross Income from their most
recent tax return submitted, either 2019 or 2018
The refund or amount owed from their latest
filed tax return
Bank account type, account and routing numbers
Get My Payment cannot update bank account information after
an Economic Impact Payment has been scheduled for delivery. To help protect
against potential fraud, the tool also does not allow people to change bank
account information already on file with the IRS.
