I received an Economic Impact Payment VISA prepaid debit card from the government in the mail. Is this a scam? This is not a scam. The government is sending some people Economic Impact Payment Cards if they qualified for a stimulus payment and the IRS couldn't direct deposit the payment. Your Economic Impact Card will come in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services” along with important information about the card, instructions for activation, fees, and a note from the U.S. Treasury. The card itself will have the words “VISA” and “DEBIT” on the front and the issuing bank, “MetaBank, N.A.”, on the back and should look like this: How do I activate my card? Before you can access your Economic Impact Payment, you will first need to activate your card, either online or by phone. You will receive only one card for your household and the primary cardholder must activate the card. If you are the primary cardholder:Call 1-800-240-8100 (TTY: 1-800-241-9100)
Provide your name, address, and social security number to validate your identity
Create a 4-digit PIN so you can get cash at the ATM. If you forget your PIN, you can call customer service to get a new one
Check the balance to know how much you received
Once you activate your card, you can start using your card immediately. There is no monthly or inactivity fee and your money does not expire. You do not need to pay this money back and do not have to pay taxes on this money.
