Will My Economic stimulus check be forwarded to me at my new address?

What should I do when my package is forwarded?

• I bought an item that was shipped through registered airmail I put my dorm address on the shipping address and when I tracked the item on USPS it said: Service(s): Registered Mail™ Status: Forwarded Your item was forwarded to a different address at 4:19 PM on October 26, 2009 in ORELAND, PA 19075. This was because of forwarding instructions or because the address or ZIP Code on the label was incorrect. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later. I verified the shipping address with the seller and it was indeed my dorm address what should I do? If I just leave it be would USPS just forward the package to my dorm address?

• Answer:

  I would be contacting the local Post Office to find out exactly why your item was forwarded. With the information you provided. With you living in a school dorm room, I'm wondering if a past years resident of that room may have placed a forwarding order for that address with the Local Post Office, even though your name's would be different, the computer system would recognize the address. You should contact your Post Office ASAP.
