How to make sure you get $3,600 in new stimulus checks you might be owed

Here's the good news about the new stimulus check that millions of Americans are set to begin receiving less than a month from now, on July 15, which is part of a new wave of payments that will ultimately include six new stimulus checks between July and the end of this year -- one each month through December.

The payments are all portions of the expanded federal child tax credit benefit that President Biden signed into law back in March, as part of the $1.9 trillion stimulus legislation. And here's one of the most important things to know about that benefit: If you qualify -- which is to say, if you have eligible children -- and if you filed your federal tax return by the delayed May 17 deadline this year, you don't have to do anything at all to start receiving the first of the six new checks. Your payment will arrive automatically, with the IRS relying on whatever information it already has on file for you -- either your address, for a paper check that arrives in the mail, or your banking details for an electronic direct deposit.
