The Surprising Way You May Get Your Stimulus Payment

Not only was there no initial mention of debit cards when stimulus payments were first announced, but to date, it's not really clear why some people are getting checks and others are receiving these cards. Making matters worse is the fact that these debit cards are coming in a plain envelope with "Money Network Cardholder Services" listed as the sender.
