NATIONWIDE (SPECTRUM NEWS) — Stimulus payments of $1,200 are still making their way to millions of Americans around the U.S.

However, AARP says because of the form it's being sent in, the latest round of payments may accidentally be thrown away.

“Unbeknownst to so many people they made a decision to start sending prepaid debit cards to four million people who they didn’t have their bank account information for,” AARP Director of fraud Prevention Programs, Kathy Stokes said.

That’s four million payments that AARP says could come looking as if it is a scam, but they say it's not.

“If you see something like that coming in the mail you are going to think one of two things, it’s either junk mail, a bank trying to get you as a customer, or it’s a scam,” Stokes said.

AARP says the prepaid visa card comes in a white envelope from money network cardholder services with a return address of Omaha Nebraska. So if this is something you get in the mail, it’s real. 

Good news though, if you have thrown your stimulus payment away on accident, there is a way to get it back.

“If you have tossed it or you think you may have tossed it you can call the issuing bank number, it’s 800-240-8100, and explain that you think you have tossed your economic impact debit card. They will deactivate your card and send you a new one, but it will take seven to ten days to get to you,” Stokes said.

AARP says they want those still waiting on their stimulus payments to stay vigilant and keep an eye out for a debit card coming in the mail.​
