As for me, I'm not receiving Social Security yet, and I file our taxes by paper without any direct deposit information included, so I guess I have a long wait.  Are there any of you similar to me that did receive a paper check?

the NYT and CNN online had an article about the reasons you may not have received the check yet.   They listed many causes, and listed things you can do.

@BunSnoop Since you jointly filed without direct deposit, it will probably be mailed to you in May or later depending on your income.  If you go to the IRS webisite, you can enter your direct deposit information if you want the money sooner.

We got our stimulus money days ago, it went into our automatic deposit. (never got our tax rebate for this year though and when I call it says no info available and no humans there to answer, and I sent it Feb 2nd!)

@BunSnoop ...I'm on Social Security and have not received my payment yet.  My daughter who is out of work with one child did receive her $1,700 a few days ago.   I have already spent it in my head.

Go to irs.gov/eip.  That site tells you what to do if you don't have direct deposit information on their files.  It will also tell you when you're scheduled to receive your payment.

We're on SS.  Our money is being deposited to our checking account on 4/22.

I receive social security direct deposited into my account and I have not received my stimulus check yet. I don't think they have sent out and paper checks yet and may not until May. You might check the IRS website for information. I think they were setting up a site so that you could give them your direct deposit information so that you would not have to wait for a paper check.

I get my Social Security check on the 2nd Wednesday of the month by direct deposit and have not gotten the stimulus check. I also filed taxes for 2018, but did not get a Federal return, only state. They probably do not have the capacity to send them all out in one day. They have some sort of priority system - maybe alphabetical order by last name, or by state. who knows? I just hope I get mine soon - I need to buy groceries. I wish I were one of those people who are using it on their cat.

For the record...it's not a stimulus check.  It's a relief check.

People who really need it know the difference.

Really? I really need it and have only heard it called a stimulus check. Who cares what it is called anyway?

[Roscoe the Rascal]

Same situation as you so I went in and added bank account so we will see if speeds up.  Others I know have gotten theirs.

Yes we received  our stimulus check it was deposited  in our checking account.  We are on social security  also. When we do our income tax we have our return direct deposit  in checking.  Everyone  I talk to say they got it. There are a few who don't  wanna admit it. Go figure!!!!

My husband and I have had to pay IRS the last 3 years. I wonder if that could be a reason we have not received a copy.  Years before it was elec deposited but I guess they don't have that info any longer?
