Where can I find additional information on stimulus payments?

Economic Impact Payments, more commonly referred to as stimulus payments or stimulus checks, from the U.S. Treasury of the federal government will begin mid-April.

Thank you in advance for your patience as we strive to help all members as quickly as possible.

Please be aware that no credit unions, banks or other financial institutions have control of when payments will be made to individuals. We are doing our very best to stay apprised of the latest information provided to the public.

  • Click here to view the IRS’ Economic Impact Payments webpage.
  • Click here to learn more about Economic Impact Payments being sent by prepaid debit cards.
  • To see if you are eligible for an Economic Impact Payment, you can check on the IRS’ Economic Impact Payments webpage.
  • No further action is needed by taxpayers who filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019, by seniors or by retirees in order to receive your payment.
  • If you previously used direct deposit to receive tax returns, you will receive your payment via that same direct deposit.
  • If you previously received a check for your tax returns, you will receive your payment via check; however, you can add a direct deposit now if you’d like.
  • A convenient tool is available on the IRS’ Economic Impact Payments webpage to help you check your payment status, confirm your payment time and/or update your direct deposit information.
  • There is also a tool on the IRS’ Economic Impact Payments webpage for “Non-filers”, or persons who did not have to file income taxes in 2018 or 2019, that allows them to enter their payment information.

Use our NTouch24 Online Banking and MCWV App 24/7 to monitor your accounts.


How can I avoid scams related to the coronavirus?

Unfortunately, many potential scams have arisen due to the coronavirus.

View the IRS’ “Taxpayers should be aware of coronavirus-related scams” webpage for full information. Taxpayers should know:

  • The IRS will not call, email or text you to verify or request your financial, banking or personal information.
  • Watch out for websites and social media attempts to request money or personal information. The official website is IRS.gov.
  • Don’t open surprise emails that look like they’re coming from the IRS or click on attachments or links.
  • Taxpayers should not provide personal or financial information or engage with potential scammers online or over the phone.

In response to the federal stimulus package, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) reported that fraudsters have deployed a variety of scams involving coronavirus stimulus checks. Read the BBB’s entire Scam Alert. Remember:

  • Government agencies do not communicate through social media outlets, such as Facebook.
  • Never pay a fee for a government grant. A government agency will never request an advanced processing fee to receive the grant.
  • Beware of fake government agencies promoted by fraudsters. The only official list of all U.S. federal grant-making agencies can be found at www.grants.gov.

This article from the WHO warns users of fraudsters launching phishing attacks to deliver malware and sending emails posing to be the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) or World Health Organization (WHO).

Fake websites have also been established posing as interactive maps for coronavirus statistics that also infect user devices with malware. Please be hyper-vigilant of these potential scams and others.
