(CNN) - If you never received your stimulus check in 2021 you may still be able to get it.

The IRS has announced a plan to send recovery rebate credits to one million people who never got their economic impact payment.

The maximum payment is $1,400 per person.

Officials say those who are eligible will receive a letter in the mail and do not need to take any action.

The payments will go out automatically in December via direct deposit or paper check.

The estimated payments going out will total about $2.4 billion.

According to the IRS, taxpayers who haven’t filed their 2021 tax returns might also be eligible but must file their returns by mid-April to claim the credit.
