Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said that we should start seeing payments in bank accounts early next week, but it seems like this is on track to happen relatively quickly, even faster than last time. matched

And they've got more bank account information than they had in the spring because of people who... matched

don't typically file tax returns but updated their information with the IRS. matched
