Coronavirus Update

An update for our Members: Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Updated: May 1, 2022

***The third round of COVID-19 stimulus payment direct deposits have begun. We strongly recommend setting up deposit text alerts via online banking. Deposit notifications are the fastest way to learn when your funds are available. The IRS reminds taxpayers that the payments are automatic, and they should not contact their financial institutions or the IRS with payment timing questions. Visit www.IRS.gov/getmypayment for up-to-date information.***

Thank you for adjusting how you do your financial transactions and being patient regarding longer than usual wait times. Through it all, our members have been supportive and understanding.

Federal Government Stimulus Information

***Visit www.IRS.gov/getmypayment for 2nd round stimulus information***

The government will be issuing economic stimulus payments to qualified households in response to the COVID-19 epidemic. These payments will be issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), so Trax has limited information regarding the timing of these payments. Here is what we do know:

In order to receive the full stimulus payment of $1200, the government has assigned income thresholds as follows:

  • Individuals earning up to $75,000
  • Those who filed as “head of household” earning up to $112,500
  • Couples who filed jointly and made up to $150,000 will receive $2400

For tax filers earning more than the assigned thresholds, your payment will be reduced by $5 for every $100 of income above these thresholds.

Payments will be issued via direct deposit. The IRS will use the direct deposit information on your 2019 federal tax return. For those who haven’t yet filed in 2019, the IRS will use information from your 2018 return.

Social Security and Railroad Retirement recipients will automatically receive their stimulus payments.

For those who received a paper check on your last return, you can expect a paper check for your stimulus payment.

We encourage our members to visit the IRS website to learn more about stimulus payments, and when you can expect funds to be deposited.

Stay Safe & Avoid COVID-19 Scams

You may encounter potential COVID-19 scams, as there are many criminals attempting to exploit Americans during this crisis. Here are some tips to stay safe from scammers:

  • Trax CU will never request your banking information via a text message or phone call. Don’t provide your account number and/or routing number for your stimulus payment.
  • Beware of phishing emails that appear to be from legitimate organizations such as the Center for Disease Control (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO). Always hover your mouse over any links before clicking. Ensure the link is legitimate.
  • If you receive an email requesting your banking information, and appears to be Trax CU forward the email to reportabuse@traxcu.com

Visit the IRS website for more information about potential stimulus scams.
