WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service has re-launched its online tool to allow people to track their coronavirus stimulus payments.

The IRS Get My Payment tool went live early Monday afternoon but may have some delays initially due to high demand. The program was taken offline for several days before it could offer information about the second coronavirus stimulus check.

The IRS explained Monday that the official date funds are available was Monday, Jan. 4, so some Americans may have seen the $600 payments as pending or as provisional payments in their accounts before then.

Paper checks have also started going out and will continue to be sent through January, the IRS said, and some people will also be mailed debit cards so check your mail carefully.

Data on the IRS online tracking tool is updated once per day overnight, so there’s no need to check back more than once per day for the status of your payment.

When you log on, the online tool will ask for your social security number and your address. It will then show the status of your first stimulus payment from spring 2020 and the second stimulus payment, which Congress and President Trump approved at the end of 2020.

The tool will also show whether your stimulus check was scheduled to be sent via direct deposit or through the mail. The tool is available in English and Spanish on IRS.gov.

The IRS is also urging Americans to visit IRS.gov instead of trying to call the agency, financial institutions or tax software providers.
