OK, the skeptic in me is thinking that the IRS wants you to throw away your stimulus money.

Pay attention if you get a plain envelope in the mail that's marked "Money Network Cardholder Services."
No, folks, it's not a scam. It's real stimulus cash.
The envelope contains a prepaid debit card that is loaded with your stimulus payment. Do not throw out this envelope or toss aside this card, as it can contain up to $1,200 for single taxpayers.
The cards are marked Visa debit card, and the back of the card has the logo for MetaBank.
Four million people will be receiving their stimulus payment via a debit card.
I can see a lot of these going right into the tall kitchen garbage bag.
IRS website:
“Some payments may be sent on a prepaid debit card known as The Economic Impact Payment Card.
The Economic Impact Payment Card is sponsored by the Treasury Department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service, managed by Money Network Financial, LLC and issued by Treasury’s financial agent, MetaBank®, N.A.
If you receive an Economic Impact Payment Card, it will arrive in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services.” The Visa name will appear on the front of the Card; the back of the Card has the name of the issuing bank, MetaBank®, N.A.
Information included with the Card will explain that the card is your Economic Impact Payment Card.
This administration pretty much sucks at everything.
