I got an EIP card in the mail...is this a scam?

I was supposed to get a $600 2nd payment mailed on Jan., 6th (day of the DC riots). I called and called the IRS phone number when a letter arrived saying I should get a check in the mail or direct deposit(which I don't do) and I didn't as of last Thurs. I finally was allowed to speak with a person at the IRS after 1 1/2 hours. She told me they'll put a trace on the check but can't cancel the original and issue a new one. I will either get a new check or a packet of forms to fill out within 4 weeks.

Now today I just got my mail and I got an "Economic Impact Card enabled by Money Network" which I don't know what it is, or is it legit and how do I use it? Is this the $600 I was told would be in the form of a check? I need to call a number to activate it but I am nervous about govt scams I have heard about. Wouldn't the IRS employee, who never mentioned payment in card form, have said that instead of saying it was in the form a "check"? My original $1,200 was received that last year in the mail in the form of a check.

The IRS delayed Fed Taxes but the states did not.

Do you think the states will extend the state tax deadline too? Don't you need the completed Fed return in order to complete the State taxes? I do my taxes myself since I can't afford a tax person.

Worldometers is showing a definite 4th wave of Covid

hitting the planet right now, especially Europe. This is likely from the variants. We are not at the end of this. When the variants hit the US in a big way by July 15th we will be dealing with a country who still refuses to wear masks and not enough people are vaccinated yet.

The doctors on CNN and MSNBC, Peter Hortez and Michael Olsterholm, agreed the variants are extremely contagious and more deaths are coming.

Has Biden increased production of REAL N95 masks yet?

I've been recycling the 5 that I got a year ago. If you never wore one the difference is like night and day to the ones that wrap around your ears. The only way my N95 budges 1 mm is if I use two hands to move it.

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
