My daughter's stimulus check was scheduled to be mailed 1/6. Still not delivered. Anyone else?

Mine was deposited in my checking account but my daughter, who's been staying with me since March, hasn't received her check. The IRS site says it was supposed to be mailed on January 6. We're in the Chicago burbs. Has this been happening to others here? She's getting worried.

Thanks
Hedda

IRS site says scheduled to be mailed 1/6, but nothing so far and nothing further.

I am curious how many Republican voters will return the $600. Since they strongly do not believe the gov't should be giving people hand-outs and think that people just need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and take responsibility for their own lives.

STILL haven't gotten their stimulus checks/deposits (ALL are seniors), and several friends grandchildren STILL gotten their stimulus monies either.

It seems the IRS website suggests the mail is running very slow (no idea why that is happening ) and the checks may be in process for 4-6 weeks from the day the IRS said it was mailed.

Having an effect. If your daughter is going to be with you awhile, maybe she should go the direct deposit route. That seems to function.

We filed our income taxes, by snail mail on the last day, the IRS hasn't processed it yet, and they say we will not get the payment until they get around to processing the return. Who knows when it will arrive. I am patient when waiting on free money....

The Post Office is hopelessly behind.

I also insured the package. I tried to make an insurance claim more than a week ago. They acknowledged they received it and sent me a satisfaction survey on the outcome (which has not been addressed at all).

Don't get your hopes up.

might be legit. To many, they are sending out debit cards instead of checks (we got a check last time) or direct deposits. Looks like a lot of the marketing items for loans, so I imagine some people are just throwing them out. But I checked on line and it appears to be real. Need to set up an account then transfer the money to your bank, or just use as a debit card.

because apparently many people thought they were junk mail and threw them out. They are supposedly being mailed in white envelopes with clearly marked "Department of the Treasury" on the envelope.

If GMP reflects a date your payment was mailed, it may take up to 3-4 weeks for you to receive the payment. Watch your mail carefully for a check or debit card.
