COVID-19 Resources

---

 You do not need to apply for your stimulus payment. If you filed taxes in 2018 or 2019 and had a return deposited electronically, the IRS will use the same information to automatically deposit the funds into your account. Funds should be available by the end of April. Most adults will get $1,200. There will be an additional payment of $500 for each child age 16 or under. You can visit the IRS Get My Payment page to check the status of your payment. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment
