Instead of a paper check or direct deposit payment, over 4 million people are receiving their economic stimulus payment via prepaid debit card. This decision was made by a smaller branch of the Treasury Department known as Bureau of the Fiscal Service – who work with the IRS to manage the distribution of the payments. These payments have been made in some cases due to account closings in small banks that return stimulus checks in the form of prepaid debit cards.
Directions and steps to activate card is presented on the IRS website.
