Apparently, the Treasury Department ordered that President Trump’s name be printed on stimulus checks that will be sent to millions of American workers impacted by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus outbreak, The Post reported, citing senior IRS officials.
Two senior agency officials told the newspaper that this move, which will be the first time a president’s name will appear on a disbursement from the IRS — will reportedly cause delays for some of the $1,200 payments Congress approved in the $2 trillion stimulus package last month.
Now, despite that, The Hill reports that the Treasury Department denied this process would cause a delay, telling the Post that the “Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned.”
As promised, the first wave of stimulus checks have already been sent out. Some American have confirmed on social media that their checks officially hit their account this Wednesday, April 15.
