The envelope containing your EIP card has no mention of either the US Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The EIP card will arrive in your mailbox in an envelope and there lies some of the confusion. How do I know my EIP Card is real and not a fake? Some have mistaken the envelope for junk mail or a possible scam and thrown them away.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) started posting out around four million Economic Impact Payment (EIP) Cards last week but some people have been taken by surprise as they were not expecting anything to arrive in the post. Some Americans will receive their stimulus payments on a pre-paid debit card which will be sent to them through the post – these cards will be sent instead of a paper check.
