Federal officials are encouraging Arizonans who have yet to receive the $1,200 stimulus checks that were provided by the CARES Act to claim them before Oct. 15. In a media release distributed by the office of Senator Martha McSally, officials with the Internal Revenue Service said there are still 239,037 unclaimed stimulus checks in Arizona. “The IRS continues to work hard to reach people eligible for these payments,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “These mailings are the latest step by the IRS to reach as many people as possible for these important payments. The CARES Act created $1,200 Economic Impact Payments for individuals who make less than $99,000 a year or married couples who make less than $198,000 a year.
