Also beginning this week, the Internal Revenue Service will begin issuing paper checks on a weekly basis to people who have not provided direct deposit information but have a mailing address on record with the IRS, according to an April 16 report by the House Committee on Ways & Means.

They'll join tens of millions of taxpayers who saw their stimulus money directly deposited into their bank accounts last week, including many of those who filed 2018 or 2019 tax returns and had given the IRS their bank account information to be used for direct deposit of their income tax refunds.

What's important to note: Some receiving Social Security benefits will receive their payments as a direct deposit or by mail, just as they would normally receive their benefits. This applies if you receive an SSA-1099 or RRB-1099 and do not make enough money during the year to normally have to file a tax return.

About 25 million to 30 million Social Security beneficiaries and recipients of Supplemental Security Income typically are not required to file federal income tax returns. As a result, they're likely to be in the next rounds of payments.

As more people see stimulus cash – up to $1,200 for individuals and up to $2,400 for a couple – many worries will go away.

However, the headaches and confusion aren't vanishing for everyone.

Various situations in your own life could mean that you'd need to wait a few more weeks or even months to see a direct deposit of money into a bank account, onto a prepaid card or see a stimulus payment payment arrive in the mail.

Here's a look at a few specific situations:

Veterans will be waiting a bit longer
We don't know yet when some veterans will receive the stimulus payments. But the IRS, working with the Treasury Department and the Department of Veterans Affairs, reached a solution that will enable some automatic payments.

The IRS said veterans and their beneficiaries who receive compensation and pension benefit payments will receive a $1,200 Economic Impact Payment without needing to file extra forms.

"Timing on the payments is still being determined," the IRS said April 17.

"Since many VA recipients typically aren't required to file tax returns, the IRS had to work with these other government agencies to determine a way to quickly and accurately deliver Economic Impact Payments to this group," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig.

Rettig noted in a statement that additional programming work remains.
