Name Change can delay your stimulus check?

Question

i got married May 9 and I sent in a form of change of name to the IRS and that put a delay on my rebate check

i was suppose to got mine July 11 but won't get mine til sometime in August :(

so yes if you sent in a form with a change of name before your rebate is suppose to be issued out then there will be a delay

Answer 1

yea cause they have to destroy the old one and then you go to the end of the line to get a new one.... .

i am glad you got on it so quick to change your name lol i been married over a year and havent changed mine on my ssn lol, i just use my maiden name one.. we have moved to another state once and are fixing to move to germany - oh well i will do it one day

Answer 2

thanks for the great info. i'm sure everyone will appreciate it.

i guess you didn't think to wait to send in the name change til after you've gotten the rebate check?DARN IT!

Answer 3

Yes it does delay the rebate but even more if you didn't change your name on your Social Security, Once IRS receives the name change form it will check Social Security Records to match your name with your SSN.
