I kept telling my clients who receive Social Security payments directly deposited to their bank accounts, that IRS will deposit their EIP the same way.  Now I have to tell them that I lied.  Well, I'll have to apologize for what IRS and the Munchkin told us.  A client called yesterday -- he's been receiving Social Security benefits since 2018, same bank account -- and told me that his check came in the mail last week.  

Meanwhile, have you seen the stories about how the EIP debit cards come in a plain white envelope, and people are throwing them away because they look like junk mail?
