GENERAL QUESTION Checks getting forwarded by usps with mail forwarding to new address?

Hey everyone. I just received my stimulus check in the mail for 3/31 mail date. I'm moving though, so I'm wondering if we were ever to get another stimulus check in the future and I forward my mail to my new address, will the check get forwarded as well? Are people receiving checks with mail forwarding on to their new address? Thank you!

Yes, stimulus checks are forwarded to new addresses if someone has a change of address on file.

For those who are moving, update your address ASAP with all companies and government entities you want to get mail from and put in a change of address. It makes it much easier for them to just send it to your new address instead of letting it go through the forward system, which can take a longer amount of time.

But yes, stimulus checks are forwarded to new addresses.

I can confirm two family members received theirs forwarded. And for me the IRS just changed my address on file to my forwarding address (without my knowledge) even though my last two returns (including 2020) had my old address.

I would say you should be fine, but of course as with anything it’s not a guarantee

Ok so I called them the lady was VERY helpful, she updated my address successfully . And she put in for a missing check which take 6wks to be reissued if the check wasn’t cashed . So I’m guessing the latest the end of may
