Denver, Boulder, and the entire state of Colorado are feeling the downward pressure from a stalled economy. This has driven unemployment up rapidly, and with the first mortgage and rent payments coming due since Coronavirus exploded across the state, people need their stimulus checks as soon as possible.

The good news – if you have a direct deposit set up for your federal tax returns, then you should be getting the check direct deposited into that account within 3 weeks. If you receive a traditional check for your tax returns, the federal government will be launching a website to provide your account details for faster delivery of the money vs. waiting on a paper check in the mail.
