1. Maybe I'll get a letter

I didn't get a stimulus check, and the site keeps saying my info is wrong. I'm pretty sure I know what my SSN, DOB and address are.

2. Received benefits since 11 years ago. I opted for benefits b4 the full age of 66.

So SS had my bank account # since then.
Last year it changed to survivor's amount after husband died. Same account number. I got fed up going on get my payment saying the same thing over and over. Mid July I needed IRS to get me previous year transcript bc AGI was off according to them. We filed 2018 and was accepted, but that wasn't generating my stimulus. The agent was so wonderful. After my transcript request and checking that they have my new PO Box from last year, I mentioned that I still had no stimulus. She says hold on. Comes back with news that a check is being cut on July 31! And yes it was, and I immediately banked it!
I was fretting that I'd need to wait until next year.
What burns my butt is all the $$$ this corrupt gov. p*sses away on rot. Golfing, taxpayers' props for covid rallies, etc.

Call the IRS for a transcript even if not needed, have them verify your mailing address, then casually mention you haven't rec'd your stimulus and now are concerned.
All the best!

3. Thanks for that advice

I was waiting to hear from my accountant. I filed for an extension on filing my taxes and just took my paperwork in to her about two weeks ago.

The IRS had no trouble cashing my payment check (have to pay on time even if you file late), and I also get SS. I think what complicated everything was getting a divorce last year. I don't think my ex-husband got it either, but I'm planning to never talk to him again, so I may never know.

4. It won't hurt to try what I did.

Best!

5. I'll do that next week.

If my accountant's office doesn't call me on Monday, I'll go ahead and call the IRS. Thank you.
