Stimulus check: Some veterans are still waiting for their checks

The IRS is continuing to issue stimulus checks, even as the bulk of the $1,400 payments have already been distributed to eligible Americans. But among those still waiting are some people who receive benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. 

The IRS on Friday said it is continuing to review payment data it received from the VA, but doesn't yet have a specific payment date available for those recipients. It said it believes that VA beneficiaries who don't regularly file tax returns could receive their payments by mid-April, however. The tax agency did not disclose how many veterans may be waiting for their money. The latest twist comes amid delays for some government benefit recipients, including 30 million people who receive benefits through Social Security and other agencies but who don't normally file tax returns. Because the IRS has relied on tax returns to find bank information or addresses for recipients, as well as to check their income eligibility, it's faced a bigger hurdle in getting payments to people who don't file tax returns.
