I was beginning to think I was being Jilted (Stimulus payments)

Have been waiting for my stimulus payment (direct deposit) no taxes to file strictly Social Security. Paper checks started going out last week and I thinking well it was a nice thought.

Then I decided to check https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment after many people told me not to use this for Social Security and to my surprise it actually gave me information & said that my payment would be deposited on 04/29/2020.

If anyone were in the same boat as me, I would say try the link.

Hopes this helps someone out there that was feeling jilted like me because of sketchy information.

1. After checking my bank account day after day, I checked into Get My Payment- I'd set up with it a

couple of weeks ago. It said my bank account would be receiving it on Friday the 30th. Just in time for rent.

[William769]

3. Good for you!

To be honest, I had little faith with Social Security & the IRS melding together.

11. IKR? that combo alone is conducive to setting one's teeth on edge..

[sprinkleeninow]

2. i personally am fed up to here repeatedly going in there and getting the same dumb message

today i said to myself, "Good things come to those who wait."

and so i cooled my jets.

[William769]

4. Sorry this is happening to you.

[sprinkleeninow]

10. thanx for gifting me your compassion

it just seems like every single thing has been knock down/drag out

last year, husband of 46+ years dropped early one morning, i said this is not gonna be good, no response, cardiac arrest

whatever could go sideways on me since then, has

i get so very weary

13. Sorry you are going through that

Know that many of us understand how you feel and have faced the same thing.

Take care,we know, but we also know you will be stronger because you have to.

[sprinkleeninow]

14. DU is a life saver, especially now.

[True Blue American]

18. Yes it is.

Anything that can give you respite, even for a short time. So many, both men and women find solace in this big, wonderful land of Democrats. We really do care, even if at a distance. You can make friends all over the world and learn so much.

[sprinkleeninow]

29. I recently considered that Democrats on the whole are substantially more a caring

group than the 'others'.

So disappointing that most of the 'others' got some kinda hostility toward humanity and creation going on interior-wise.

[True Blue American]

34. That, Love

Is what makes us Democrats!

5. I think a lot of SS recipients will get it this week

After weeks of checking for my older relatives who get SS but don't file, all of them are set to have direct deposits this Wednesday.

[William769]

6. ...

[sprinkleeninow]

12. good going!

[More_Cowbell]

16. Oh, I didn't mean to imply that I did anything

Other than checking. I just meant to say that I think after a few weeks of sending out money to people who had filed this year or last year, the IRS seems to have gotten around to the people who got Social Security.

[sprinkleeninow]

26. It was considerate of you to check. Then you got a good answer for them!

We filed last year but owed a tax liability amount so that messed up thinking the IRS had bank info. on file. Turbo Tax has it but that didn't count.

Expecting a DD with SS as a second option. We shall see.

I gotta tell myself, "Patience, grasshopper!" 😄

7. Good news! I'm pretty sure mine will go into my account since my SocSec cheque is direct deposit

to my French bank account.
I'm not sure about my wife's as she is not on SocSec yet, our accountant doesn't E-File and we haven't had to pay taxes in a couple of years.
And add in another wrinkle - if they send a paper cheque it will go to our mailbox, have to be sent here to France, and then we will have to send it back to our US bank via the postal service.

I tried the link last night and I got the 'information unavailable at this time' message.

[William769]

8. I wish you the best with how you have to deal with this.

[GoneOffShore]

9. I'm just waiting to see what happens with my SocSec deposit next week.

After that I'll actually look inside the anxiety closet.

One thing about this is that it's not 'existential money' for us.

[More_Cowbell]

17. If you enter her banking info before the IRS cuts a check...

She can get it direct deposited. She'll need to give the IRS her bank information in the non-filers tool.

https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/non-filers-enter-payment-info-here

Trump wanting his signature has slowed the check-cutting process down. I saw that it might be up to 20 weeks before people get a check.

[GoneOffShore]

20. Thank you, I'll take a look! We do file jointly, so I didn't think that the non-filer status

was something we could do.

I'm going to wait and see what happens with my SocSec cheque though. I don't want to confuse or overburden the already crappy system.

[sprinkleeninow]

27. Too true! 'The Already Crappy System.' 🙃

[GoneOffShore]

28. And we know why that is - as said by one character in Allelujah!

To Colin, the hospital’s success in meeting its targets is proof of its dispensability.
“The state,” he argues, “should not be seen to work. If the state is seen to work, we shall never be rid of it.”

Spoiler Alert:

Here's Bennett reading a speech by the Pakistani doctor who is going to be deported.

22. Does your United States bank

have a phone app that will allow you to take a picture of a check to make a deposit? Might save some time that way.

[GoneOffShore]

24. Just checked my credit union and that's possible.

They used to have a limit on the amount of the deposit that was pretty low, but they've raised it now.

Huzzah!

[Nature Man]

30. Good deal!

[KT2000]

15. Thank you!

Looks like I will get one after all.

[steventh]

19. Thanks for the link

Worked for me.

[GoneOffShore]

21. Kicking for visibility.

Would you want to add something about Stimulus payments in your subject line?

There's some good info here and it looks like some DUer's might need some of that info.

I almost scrolled passed the original post.

[William769]

23. Thank you. Will do.

[GoneOffShore]

25. This could well be a VERY popular post.

[Vinca]

31. I just checked and they want my bank account number SS already has so I'll wait

for a check. Given how hackable things are these days I try to avoid giving my bank account number.

[ItsjustMe]

32. Thanks For The Link

Check Is to be mailed on May 1st.

[dmr]

33. I'm scheduled for an April 29th deposit!

In the past, each time I tried this link I got no information. So, daily, I would check my bank account, and be disappointed. <sigh>

It just dawned on me that the 29th is tomorrow! Woo hoo! Every little bit helps!

[Buns_of_Fire]

35. I was due for DD on the 29th, too. But I just checked my account...

...and it's already there! Oh, frabjous day! Calloo! Callay! (I chortled in my joy...)

My bank will "memo post" government deposits (the money hasn't actually cleared, but the government is a pretty trustworthy source, so....) and make them immediately available. YMMV, but if it's due to go in tomorrow, it might be available for use today.

Me, I'm off to the grocery (for the first time since in over a month) to restock my supply of Ding Dongs and taco sauce.

[dmr]

39. Drats! You were lucky, lol. Mine's not there.

You gave me hope for a minute. I had checked early this morning, but after reading your response, I thought ... well, maybe, just maybe it was deposited today, too. But nope, I hafta wait, and I'm no stranger to waiting. I sure hope it will come tomorrow.

I'm grocery shopping, too. Ding Dongs do sound good, I think I'll try to find some chocolate Hostess Cupcakes. Mmm, my taste buds are smiling! Tacos sound good, too! Mmmm, mouth's watering.

[KewlKat]

36. Thanks for the link...IT WORKED!

I was able to put in my banking info and maybe now we’ll get our stimulus.

THANK YOU. I’ve tried so many times and could never get it to acknowledge I existed.

[Chiyo-chichi]

37. I finally got through to be able to put in my bank account information.

I had tried to enter it at "get my payment" a number of times, but it told me something was wrong & it couldn't tell me anything.
I think I left out the S for South in my street address. I live on a short street and mail gets to me without the S, so I often don't think of it.
But on the website, you have to enter your address exactly as it appears on your tax form... and use your zip plus 4.
You can look up how the USPS lists your address and zip code here: https://tools.usps.com/zip-code-lookup.htm?byaddress

[Hortensis]

38. Also checked on the check, thanks. Reportedly going out

May 1 -- though by mail, even though they were given our bank info and SocSec is direct deposit. Our GA USPS is not handling forwarding at all reliably, so literally no telling how long in the future it may take for it and us to be in the same state at the same time.

[GoneOffShore]

40. So two deep sighs of relief - SocSec payment direct deposited in my French account

It was late because it was a holiday weekend here. And stimulus cheque arrived in my US mailbox - Now just have to get it deposited, but my mailbox guys are taking care of that for us.

Huzzah!
