The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said the window for sending it one’s bank account information to get a stimulus payment is closing.

The agency said that now, people will have until noon on Wednesday, May 13, to submit information to receive a payment up to $1,200 via the IRS “Get My Payment” website. After that deadline, the federal government will begin doling out millions of more checks to people during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
