It is legit; many have thrown it away in error.
Just take it to your bank and they can transfer the balance to your regular account.
They list plenty of “no fee” ATMs some of which are reportedly charging fees. Avoid the hassle and take it to your bank.
That’s how mine cane the first time. Texas Gun Experience was happy to swipe a transaction through. You can transfer the funds to your bank if you choose to do so.
Do you have direct deposit? If not, hence the card. The card is legit:https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/blog/economic-impact-prepaid-card/

Thanks. See something, say something.
FYI ALERT
Just got an iPhone message to schedule my appointment to get my 1st Covid shot at the University of Michigan. I can do it any time in the next 18 months.
I’ll trade you my Nigerian Prince trillion dollar deposit for it.
It is like a gift card and the Treasury gave it to you because you didn’t use an electronic debit for last year’s taxes (or didn’t fill out an optional form to give the Treasury your account and routing numbers for occasions such as this).
Dump all money in it to your account or to cash.
How do you verify it is legit?
“There’s a list of transaction fees on the back of the sheet it came with for things like transferring the funds to my bank account (BANK ACCOUNT TRANSACTION FEE. . .there is NONE. Repeat, there is NO TRANSACTION FEE to get the balance to your bank).
Do more research, like talk to your bank about this, or your representatives office, do SOME MORE checking before doing anything associated with banking. If they are legit, they know your bank to send to your direct deposit e-payment. Your bank will be aware as well.
Sounds fishy to me but I don’t know, even with info on the net (it is supposedly a VISA pre-payment card. . .in that case, if you have a VISA, I’d call and talk with them).
IMHO.
ANSWER: Your bank can tell you if it’s legit. They should be able to tell if it’s real or a scam. Wait until Tuesday and ask a branch manager.
It’s a scam. You’re children and grandchildren will be paying for it for their entire lives.
You have been stimulated.
Go here to activate it:
It’s legit. I got a card last year. You’d think they’d just reload it but they wasted money by sending out cards again.

See something, say something...while you can.
Thanks, JimRob.
Could be some rocky road ahead.
Money Network is owned by First Data Corporation and the cards are issued by MetaBank. MetaBank has about 10 brick and mortar branches in South Dakota and Iowa. They compete with Green Dot Bank in the ‘buy your bank account at a Walmart, drug store, or gas station’ market.
My $600 was automatically deposited in my checking account. Are these cards for people who didn’t do that, in lieu of checks?
I just got a check for $600 in the mail. Last time, it was direct deposit. I don’t understand why it came by mail this time.
It is a “Legit” Treasury/IRS VISA Debt card as mentioned above...activate it and deposit at your bank/credit union teller.
Virgil: no direct deposit/debt card/check for us here yet...same bank/IRS direct deposit info. for 30 years...1st “stimulus” was direct deposit....crazy IRS probs I guess...news says “...problems with electronic tax filers that use large tax prep firms like H&R Block, TurboTax, TaxAct, etc....mixup by IRS between them and the tax firms...”. My question: why does IRS need tax firms to report direct deposit info. in the 1st place? IRS doesn’t keep my same direct dep. info. on file from the last 30 years!?!? Nuts!
Might be legit but check it out. Since the payments were to be made based upon 2019 tax info, 10s of millions of tax returns were not processed ... I would assume that they were just thrown away to eliminate the backlog caused by the COVID scam. IRS employees sat around last year, at home or at the office, and played cards or whatever at full pay. I got a letter that my return had not been received, but they acknowledged that they had cashed the check. Had to send them a photocopy of the return. Please understand that some big bank is going to make hundreds of millions of dollars on those debit cards and fees.
I just got a stimulus check this week, no card. It sounds like that card is the next level, moving us into the Universal Basic Income phase of this game of Total Control. Everyone will eventually get a card that the government will load with your weekly payment if we don’t put a stop to it now.
