The Internal Revenue Service launched a new online tool Wednesday so Americans can track the status of their coronavirus stimulus payments.

The “Get my Payment” tool allows people to track the status of their payment, including the date their payment is scheduled to be deposited into their bank account or mailed to them. You’ll need to enter your Social Security number, date of birth and mailing address in order to track your payment, the Treasury Department said.

The CARES Act, which was passed by Congress at the end of March, provides $1,200 to people who make less than $75,000, plus $500 for each dependent child. People who make more than $75,000 a year can expect less in their stimulus check. Social Security recipients will also receive a payment for the same amounts.

Checks began showing up in accounts late last week, and the Treasury Department says it expects tens of millions of Americans will receive payments via direct deposit by Wednesday, April 15.

Paper checks will be sent out on April 24.
