You could receive your $600 stimulus check as soon as tonight, Treasury says

Stimulus money could be coming to your account tonight.

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin tweeted on Tuesday evening the department "has delivered a payment file to the Federal Reserve for Americans' Economic Impact Payments." His tweet continued: "These payments may begin to arrive in some accounts by direct deposit as early as tonight and will continue into next week."

Americans who have direct deposit set up through the Internal Revenue Service could be receiving their stimulus payment as early as Tuesday night. Paper checks will begin to be mailed Wednesday, according to a press release from the Treasury Department. Mnuchin also tweeted that you can check your payment's status later this week at http://IRS.gov/GetMyPayment.

However, not everyone qualifies for the payment. USA TODAY reporter Jessica Menton goes over who qualifies and who isn't getting stimulus money.
