Federal stimulus checks for eligible Alaskans

Neighbors,

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government is sending a $600 stimulus payment to eligible Americans earning less than $75,000 a year. Payments started hitting bank accounts this week, and the federal government is working on getting all checks mailed by January 15. If you are eligible, please be on the lookout for your payment. There's information below explaining how to track your payment and what to do if you don't receive a stimulus check.

Once you get your stimulus check, please consider spending some of it at your favorite local business. Nationally, it's estimated that over 100,000 businesses have closed due to the pandemic, and It's been frustrating to watch all kinds of businesses close around Anchorage. These closed businesses represent more than just lost jobs; they represent lost dreams. I'm hopeful the second round of stimulus payments can help keep many struggling businesses afloat until things can return to normal. However, that requires all of us to buy their goods and use their services. If you can afford it, please support your favorite businesses. And if you are able, please consider donating to a local food bank as well.

I’m here to serve you. If you have questions or concerns, please contact my office at rep.chris.tuck@akleg.gov or call (907) 269-0240.

Please be safe,

What To Do if You Haven't Received Your Second Stimulus Check Yet

If you have not received a second stimulus payment yet, watch your bank account and the mail.

The IRS is working to get all checks and debit cards mailed by January 15.

You can track your stimulus payment using the Get My Payment tool.

If you have moved since your last tax return was filed, you need to notify the IRS.
