Mnuchin expects people to start receiving stimulus checks next week

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Monday that he expects Americans will start receiving stimulus checks as early as next week from the COVID-19 relief package that Congress is poised to approve.

"The president wanted direct payments, so we will be sending out next week direct deposit," Mnuchin said on CNBC. "I expect we'll get the money out by the beginning of next week."

Mnuchin's timetable for the second round is faster than the timetable was for the CARES Act payments. The first round of payments was enacted on March 27, and taxpayers whose direct deposit information was already on file with the IRS started receiving their payments in mid-April.

Mnuchin called direct payments a "very, very fast way of getting money into the economy."

But I'm wondering if we'll receive another letter. And if we do, I suspect the nimrod will tell us the election was rigged and he won.

All the programming and procedures were developed last March. Just dust 'em off, change a few parameters, and let fly.
