More than 100,000 Minnesotans have yet to claim their $1,200 stimulus checks that the Trump administration sent to Americans in April, according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue.

Most eligible U.S. taxpayers automatically received stimulus payments, but the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said on Monday that it sent letters to nearly 9 million Americans who do not normally file a tax return and have not claimed their checks.

"The economic impact payments were sent out to try to spur the economy and help Minnesotans during an unprecedented time," Revenue Commissioner Cynthia Bauerly said in a Monday statement. "We want to make sure that those Minnesotans who may benefit the most from these payments know how to claim them or are connected with groups that can assist them."
