India, Feb. 8 -- Millions of Americans received stimulus checks during the COVID-19 pandemic, but not everyone ever saw the money they were entitled to. Years later, some payments remain unclaimed. According to Marca, those funds haven't disappeared yet.

If you never received a stimulus payment in 2020 or 2021, or if a paper check was misplaced or expired, there are still legal routes to recover that money before it is permanently archived by the US Treasury.

As reported by Marca, there are several reasons why eligible recipients missed out. In many cases, checks were mailed to old addresses or were lost before delivery. Administrative issues such as incorrect Social Security Numbers (SSN) or ITIN details also disrupted payments.
