After weeks or more of delay, another round of stimulus cash is set to go out soon and finally reach some lower income families who desperately want to know the whereabouts of their Economic Impact Payments.
The Internal Revenue Service plans to put those stimulus payments automatically on existing Direct Express cards.
The original plans called for delivery of some of that money by early May, but somehow that did not work out as advertised.

"It was a devastating blow," says Douglas, who was still expecting to get $2,200 in emergency relief money for herself and her two children. "I'm a teacher. I'm not rolling in the dough."
Douglas, 45, was hoping to use the money to cover utility and grocery expenses that have jumped since her two sons, 11 and 13, have been forced to stay home as schools have shuttered due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Her husband, who works as a driver and trainer in the flatbed trucking industry, owes about $15,000 in back child support for three kids and currently has $1,300 garnished from his paycheck per month, including arrears that he owes.

Battle brewing over how to get more relief money to Americans | TheHill
A fight is emerging in Washington over how best to get more money into people's pockets to weather the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump described a payroll tax cut as a must-have for the next coronavirus relief bill during a Fox News virtual town hall on Sunday.
"We're not doing anything unless we get a payroll tax cut," he said. "That is so important to the success of our country."
Reducing payroll taxes is an idea championed by conservatives with connections to the president. They argue that it could be a way to encourage people to work after Congress passed an expansion of unemployment insurance that has resulted in some people receiving more money in unemployment benefits than they would be receiving in wages had they not lost their jobs.
Bullock attacks money in politics as super PAC goes after Daines
When Montana Gov. Steve Bullock launched his bid last year for the Democratic presidential nomination, he said he aimed to "defeat the corrupt system that lets campaign money drown out the people's voice."
Though his White House effort flopped, Bullock's money-in-politics messaging had deep roots, including his unsuccessful challenge, as Montana's attorney general, to a landmark Supreme Court decision that led to unlimited-spending super PACs. Now, Bullock is taking on incumbent Republican Sen. Steve Daines in a pivotal race that could determine which party controls the chamber next year.
