The first few days I checked it, i got the Payment Status Not Available message. After about 4 or 5 days, I got a message stating my payment would be mailed on 3/26, and it arrived this morning.

Needed more information or you are not eligible. I got the same. I'm not eligible if I understand the means testing correctly. I got like 200 from the first round.

all of us in that category won't receive stimulus until later this week. The date I saw was April 7th but that may not be cast in stone. There is supposed to be a huge flood of payments made in just one day.

See: https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/30/politics/stimulus-payments-social-security/index.html (article from March 30)

I got my first check in the mail for $1,200 last year. Then, in March I got a letter from the IRS asking me if I received my payment and to call a certain number. Every time I called I was cut off for two weeks. I finally got through (1 1/2 hour wait) and the person told my my payment was issued on Jan., 6 for $600. Since I never received it the IRS will put a tracer on it and send me a packet of forms to fill out within 4 weeks. They can't cancel a check and issue a new one. Then last Sat I got a VISA card in the mail and thought it was a scam (I never heard of IRS sending ATM cards instead of checks). When I activated it it said the balance is $1,400, not the $600 I was expecting and should have received two months ago.

What I don't get is why they sent me one check and one card. And why did they send the letter at all, asking me if I received the $600 stimulus. They didn't do that for the 1st and third payments. Did they have reason to suspect that I never received it? Was the Jan. 6th date causing problems since that was the day of riots in DC?

It was accepted back on Feb 17th and is apparently still being processed. They owe me over $2,400. I am not happy.

I went to the IRS site, entered my info and their response was that I don't have permission to access their site. I tried it again, but received the same response.

Maybe it's a glitch. I've received the other two, so I'm sure this one will come eventually.

So I wait patiently.

That happens at times as VPN IP's get reported for malicious behavior at times.

If so, try it without the VPN. If not, contact the IRS help site.

The IRS put it's foot down and those on SSA should get their checks sent out by 4/7.

How can it be Biden's fault? It never states later dates for veterans from what I see.

If you don't file taxes, it might be in a couple of weeks. Understandable since the dispersing agency has to do additional coordination with the VA.

28. Never received the $600
Sun Apr 4, 2021, 09:53 AM
Apr 2021

So I followed the IRS advice to get the amount as a 'refund'. Have not received it yet. Have not received the $1400 either.

Im on SS (less than $12,000 a year) and I did all my taxes. Went to the IRS site & they told me they can't process my info. I got the first $1200 stimulus last year easily and probably in record time, so I don't get this.

My landlords raised my rent so I need to use the stimulus money to help pay the higher rent for a year so I don't have to move - yet.

If I could donate it (when & if I get it) I surely would, but I can't.

I got the first stimulus ($1200) by direct deposit. The second one ($600) never arrived, so I claimed it on my 2020 tax form that I e-filed back in February. I check that IRS payment website every day, and every day it says this:

Payment Status


You are eligible for the payment. Once we have your payment date, we will update this page.

We will deposit your payment to the bank account below.

Bank Account Number: ************

Updates to your payment are made no more than once a day. We will mail you a letter with additional information on this payment.

Well, along with my unemployment money being held up due to them wanting to determine yet again if I am eligible to receive UI payments (I am), my bank account is looking seriously anemic. I hope they hurry up on both accounts, or I will have to tap my retirement savings to pay next month's bills.
