Stimulus Check

QVCkitty1 — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 15:06:21 GMT

Ok, of course I'm glad to receive the stimulus, however I got the check this morning, and I don't understand why it wasn't direct deposited like the last one. Wouldn't it be easier ? Did they ever explain why they do it this way ? I'm just curious.

Ours were direct deposited this time, just like the first time.

Not sure why others were mailed or received theirs on debit cards, as I've often read.

I have no idea why they'd change the previous methods of payment, but I've heard this from some others, as well.

I'm just glad you got yours this morning It gives me hope that mine may still be coming. I've been thinking it may be lost, or they skipped me this time.

I did read somewhere, that those receiving checks are last in line. I did receive a check with the last round, so I suspect it will be the same this time. Maybe.

Both times mine were direct deposited. You would think if it was done that way the first time that it would be done the same way the next time.

I could care less how I get it. I'd just like to get it.

I could use that extra money right now.

I'm still in the canoe with everybody else. LOL My first one was direct deposited too, but, this one was 'supposedly' mailed the 6th guess it's coming by pony express.

I quit checking. People in here and another group I keep up with in youtube have stated they haven't gotten theirs yet either, so, good things come to those who wait and wait and wait I guess.

I'm looking for a drone at this point.

I am just glad I am not alone on still waiting on mine in the mail. I have never done direct deposit with IRS and for some it does not seem to make a difference. Or it is hit and miss with them. Anyway today is a New Day!! we shall see.

Both checks were direct deposited.

Several years ago, our tax person set up our tax returns to deposit or withdraw funds from our bank account and has stayed that way.

Received mine in NYS in the mail yesterday and my friend in another zip code got her's Tuesday.

I read on here or someplace.....Feds turned the distribution of money over to H & R Block. If so, H & R (perhaps) not allowed to have our personal info.....so checks are the way to go.

(personal info = our bank account numbers)

That's a guess on my part only

Our first one was sent on a cash card (and quite late), this one was a direct deposit almost immediately. It certainly makes one wonder about the efficiency of the federal government.

I read somewhere that the method of payment is supposedly based on the tax return you filed last year.

Since I don't ever have to pay, there's no record of my bank account info so I got a check last time and will this time...at some point!

Re: Stimulus Check

fthunt — Fri, 22 Jan 2021 17:17:01 GMT

@Love my grandkids The Feds know their way to my bank account without problem. I owe taxes every year and they just withdraw the amount owed.

SSI they make direct deposits each month.

So for them to issue me a recent check - - something wasn't going right.

Let's face it, the first time went so smoothly we had to know if there was a way to screw this up they'd find it... Add me to the list still waiting for a check supposedly mailed on the 6th but whose first payment was direct deposited. Meanwhile, nothing changed, but for the aforementioned predictable muck up there was no reason not to direct deposit this one... Be forewarned, they're already saying that due to the many glitches, some folks will see their 'check' as a tax refund or a reduction in the amount of taxes due... This has been an epic fail...

I think many of us have accounts set up this way. In this instance, however, it didn't matter. It was the luck of the draw.

Ours arrived by mail last Saturday. We are going to have our tax refund direct deposited this year so that we don't have to involve the postal service.
