A new set of $1,400 stimulus checks has been sent, bringing the total number of payments issued to 164 million, or about $386 billion. The new payments mark the eighth batch sent since Congress approved the checks in March. Many of the new checks were sent once the IRS processed tax returns.
How do I know if my stimulus check was mailed?
