Ok people, I know you were all holding your breath on this one
I received the a US debit card with the expected amount
Was kinda looking forward to Donald's signature….but no suck luck
Very boring looking debit card, I'm just glad it didn't have Trumps mug on it with two thumbs up



Also I belive this to be true as I initially thought it was junk mail
People are accidentally throwing out their stimulus payments — because they look like junk mail
Hallelujah praise Jesus!!

I had to use the Google when I got mine because it seemed like a scam.
Is this debit card in addition to the direct deposit in mid-April?
No it’s for people without a bank account like Sidehatch and Space

Space is buying a new lawnmower and siderefi is paying for his mortgage again with their debit cards.

You’d be surprised how many people are unbanked/underbanked nowadays. Hence my thoughts on why smart companies should reform their batch payroll structure!

Really?? People actually don't have bank accounts? So where do they keep their $$$?
You can’t be serious? Why do you think all those check cashing places and money orders exist?

I'm talking about guys like Space and Hatch… not people that have zero net worth.

Oh God man. My company has about 5,000 CNAs/PCAs who make like $9/hour (MoCo excepted) and at any given time 15% are unbanked. I got really into the weeds last year around financial services models that fit this community (and hopefully led to increased retention) so I could bore you straight to sleep on this topic for like an hour.

I don’t want to speak for either of them but I believe the majority of “non-zero net worth” people who are getting the cards are because (1) they owed the last two years and therefore the IRS has no bank routing on file or (2) they’ve changed banks in the last year, not a lack of a bank account.

I haven't owed or changed bank accounts…but my issue stems from my company changing payroll providers in 2018….so the IRS got w2's from two providers, even though the new provider had the full year's income.  So I got a $8k tax bill in Feb this year!  I've got the documentation to legitimately dispute that and a number of my coworkers who had the same issue were easily able to straighten it out.
But, I wasn't done when all the checks were going out…So I gotta assume my account was tagged?

Also, I convert all my paychecks to IMP giftcards (Think of all the FWB points!) so no need for a bank


Nice one…just caught on the re-read
