Will my stimulus check be forwarded from my old address?

Will IRS checks be forwarded to a new address?

What happens if my stimulus check goes to my old address?
According to the Internal Revenue Service’s website, it will mail a letter with information about how and where the stimulus payment was made, which sounds super helpful. One possible solution to recovering your check is to log on to the USPS website and request that your mail be forwarded to you from the old address.
Can I change my address with IRS by phone?
You’ll need to contact the IRS directly to update your address (you can use their toll-free number: 1-800-829-1040). If your return(s) are rejected by the IRS, you can simply change your address before resending your tax return.
Does your address have to match the check to cash?
