In collaboration with the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury Department launched a new web application dubbed Get My Payment. The recently unveiled app enabled people to keep a track of their payout, which was plagued with multiple defects at the time of launch.

On Monday, the Treasury Department announced that about 80 million Americans will receive the deposit this week, but a large number of people expressed concern on Wednesday when the government website revealed that the cash, about $1,200 per person, was deposited into bank accounts that didn't seem to belong to the people meant to receive them.

Several people who reached out to the IRS on Twitter were provided the same information. Those people would submit their contact details on the government's payout tracking website, just to see a message that says they were scheduled to receive the money on Apr. 15 but much to their chagrin, the digits didn't seem to match a bank account they knew.

Warehouse worker Aimme Saldana says she was confused and didn't understand where they got that account number from. The 23-year-old Ontario, California resident was hoping to use the check to pay her bills. She lost two weeks of pay because she was sick and relied on the check for her car payment.

The IRS portal showed the last four digits of the bank account number where the check was deposited. The website advised people to check with their banks to verify whether or not they received it if they didn't see the payment credited to their accounts.

While a lot of people contacted the IRS via tweets to get answers, details about the exact number of people who didn't get their checks deposited into the right account are still scarce. USA TODAY reached out to IRS spokesperson Jodie Reynolds, who said she had not heard about the checks being deposited into the wrong bank accounts, assuring that she would look into the matter.

New York City-based Thomas Krapin, 25, was hoping to use some of the money to pay rent, and understandably freaked out when he saw the deposit information on the website. After pressing submit, Krapin noticed that the account number they listed didn't match his.

When Krapin called the bank, they said there was nothing they could do. Similarly, contractor Chris Rodriguez, who lives Lansing, Michigan has been using his bank account for about a decade and knew straight away that the numbers shown on the website weren't of his account. To make things worse, the IRS isn't taking calls, leaving those affected dead in the water.
