stimulus payment

[old2soon]

        I got mine as a direct deposit. Others are receiving checks. Just saw on the "news" where the gubmint is now sending preloaded Visa debit cards. Wonder is That REALLY a good idea? I have a fair control over my expenses. Others may not. But who knows when Our entire Government goes belly up?    RIDE SAFE.

We have not received the 1,200 payment, changed banks right before virus, may not ever get it or the next one, OHWELL.

My bank account information has changed since I filed. Can I update it using the tool? (updated May 15, 2020)
No. To help protect against potential fraud, the tool does not allow people to change direct deposit information already on file with the IRS.

If we issue a direct deposit and the bank information is invalid or the bank account has been closed, the bank will reject the deposit. We will then mail your Payment as soon as possible to the address we have on file for you, and we will update Get My Payment to reflect the date your payment will be mailed. Typically, once the payment is mailed, it will take up to 14 days to receive the payment, standard mailing time.

When we filed tax included new bank info but did not file till April, 10th.

We got our check today

            Thinkin I Might know the answer but can you deposit a preloaded Visa card into a savings account? Or can you take a preloaded Visa card or other flavor preloaded card and draw cash from an A T M? As I sated here and in another thread I am able to put my stimulus check into my savings account til needed. And I also realize others may not be as fortunate as I am. RIDE SAFE.

            Thinkin I Might know the answer but can you deposit a preloaded Visa card into a savings account?...

LOL!  Apparently you missed the name of the payment. It's a stimulus payment.  It's meant to stimulate the hurting economy.  The economy gets stimulated when money is spent.   

[cookiedough]

went into IRS website our 2400 check will be mailed out May 22nd or around there so only 1 week out or so.  Call it what anyone wants, but stimulus is money in our pocket to spend on how we so choose.  Do I agree with getting it,  NO, but will not look a gift horse in the mouth...

Grandma always use to tell me growing up to save my pennies might need it one day.   

I also know if everyone was like me, our economy would be in a world of hurt not spending money like it was growing on trees.  I guess that last comment might not be true though 2 days in a row went to Costco spent 90 yesterday and 180 today.  YIKES!   

[John Schmidt]

Per the IRS website, mine was scheduled to be mailed out on May 8 when I checked previously. Well, as of today now 11 days out....no check. I was told to expect $2400 due to having filed joint, but I'm concerned a bit. Due to my wife passing a year ago tomorrow, May 20, I was able to file jointly one last time but I question whether I'm to keep that extra....assuming it ever comes. I guess I could just sign her name with mine if the check has both names on it, but not sure that's legal since it won't be going into a joint account with her anymore. Those of you that did get a check after filing jointly with your wife, does it require both signatures?

                  Carl-When it's safe to go to the dentist I Will spend the money. Very exciting purchase-new dentures!  So I Will be helping dome dentist or dental chaind bottom line.  RIDE SAFE.

We, DW/I, got our checks about a month ago thru deposit in checking account.   We sent a portion to the local food bank.

WE just got my Mom's check yesterday in the mail.  She will probably donate hers also as soon as she is out of lockdown..

[Jess from VA]

I got my check last week (sitting on the table).

I have been waiting for the stimulation, but nothing is happening.

[shadowsoftime]

if i don't get it , i won't have to pay it back next year.

[Willow]

if i don't get it , i won't have to pay it back next year.

Actually if you don't get it what you have will be worth a little less than what you're holding now.

You see giving a set amount of money to each and every one is the definition of inflation.  If you have $5,000 and you and everyone else is given another $1,000 then afterward your $6,000 has the same buying power as did your original $5,000 before the giving.

"The cards can be used to make purchases, get cash from in-network ATMs or transfer funds to personal bank accounts without any fees, the Treasury Department said."

Thanks for the link Ramie 
Looks like mine will be mailed Friday.

                    da prez

that would be my advice as well.   Sign and deposit and see what happens.

If had to guess though if wife passed in 2019 and is now 2020 when Covid 19 happened then not eligible to get extra 1200, but what do I know?  If you like me though and have NOT filed your federal taxes yet then the federal govt. will never know since you will get the stimulus check before the govt. gets your 2019 taxes.

good info 

John, I'm sure this has brought up painful reminders of Rita's passing. The last thing you need now are legal issues with the IRS. (Take care)

this is all we will get,   Payment Status Not Available   

[Bighead]

Well I got a Visa debit card yesterday. Had my name and wifes name on it havent called to activate it but when I do. I see a new firearm in my future didnt want nor need this “FREE” money. But hey I guess I can spend it the way I see fit correct?
I do feel for The people who lost jobs and need a hand but with everyone getting an extra $600 a week in unemployment I really dont see the need.  But what the Hell do I know
I did take a voluntary 20% pay cut but only hit me for one check then back to normal pay. And then the next check I got a 15% raise. Which was totally unexpected but that money I will gladly accept.

[bassman]

this is all we will get,   Payment Status Not Available  

Possible reason(s)....

The Get My Payment application will return "Payment Status Not Available" for several reasons, including:

You are required to file a tax return, but:
We haven't finished processing your 2019 return
The application doesn't yet have your data; we’re working on adding more data to allow more people to use it.
You don't usually file a return, and:
You used Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here but we haven’t processed your entry yet
You’re not eligible for a payment (see EIP Eligibility and General Information).
If you receive “Payment Status Not Available”, you will not be able to provide direct deposit information at this time.  We’re working on updates to allow more people to use this feature.

We update Get My Payment data once per day, overnight so there is no need to check more often. If you are eligible for a payment and have provided your information either through a recent tax return or the Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here application, please check back for updates.

[cookiedough]

got our 2400 married filing joint check 2 days ago.  YIPPEE!   

this pandemic am making a killing all over both ways:

unemployed one week off work getting 970 week (600+370 max in WI) which is by far more than my hourly paycheck weekly if working.

Next week working which is this week have unlimited overtime working alone doing 2 people's jobs so far have 32 hours in 3 days will be over 50 hours having 10 hours overtime, if not more, if I want it.  I could easily be working 60+ hours weekly and still not get current but 10+ hours per day is enough for me not a spring chicken anymore otherwise would be 12+ hour days.

My kid working at Aldi's is also very happy.   He only started there about tad bit over 1 month ago and now he just got offered full time employment with benefits which will be good for over the summer months not in school needing a job to pay for his apt. since all the college kids got kicked out of the dorm of which he had enough on campus couped up in a very small room 2 guys to a room the size of a small bedroom.    Aldi's upped the 2.00 hr bonus as well was suppose to end in June now extended thru September so making BIG bucks. 

[Tundra]

Finally received our stimulus check.
 
  I know familys who both husband and wife are unemployed and haven't been able to receive benefits they've paid into their entire working lifes. I also know a family who the husband is still working and drawing a nice salary, the wife is reduced income/hours and applied for reduced income benefits. Well she's getting $1000.00 bucks a week and laughing about it (more than she made working) The hard part is she was above the reduced income threshold when she applied and new it. Somehow received the benefits anyway. There are folks that need it and can't get it and others receiving, not in need and not qualified. System and world are upside down and backwards.
Rant over.

Back in the last week of April I checked on the status of my stimulus payment. After entering all the needed info, the IRS site said my check was scheduled for mailing on May 8. Ok fine, give it 10-14 days and should be in my hot little hand. It's now just over 20 days out from May 8 and no check, plus every time I go to IRS.gov and enter the pertinent info it's always the same answer; "doesn't match our record of information." I had never planned on getting an extra $1200 or $2400 so it hasn't affected my budgeting. It simply meant making the trip to Inzane less of an impact on the credit cards. If it comes....fine. If it doesn't....fine. Yes, I'll feel a bit cheated but as I stated above...it's unexpected income outside of my three current sources so....

Here's hoping it will come in time for the trip, but if not I'll still be there.

John, I think I remember someone writing that entering their info in all caps made a difference.

[John Schmidt]

Yes, I've tried that also with the same results: "information doesn't match our records."  I wish they had a number I could call or someone I could talk to so as to correct their records.

Is there where you tried?

https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment

[John Schmidt]

Yup, every time. Although hesitant to do so, I even tried to create an account. Results were the same...doesn't match our records so can't verify your identity. Now that's worrisome, yet there's no method available for me to go in and see where/what the problem is, leaving me no way to correct THEIR records.

I just checked mine and all I had to enter was SS number, date of birth, street address and zip code.

Can you sign into the SS web site?

[Bighead]

Don’t t be too upset John. I got mine in the way of a Visa debit card I called and activated It and set up a pin # and it dont work  

[John Schmidt]

Can you sign into the SS web site?

https://www.ssa.gov/site/signin/en/

Yes, just did and checked all the personal info and it's correct, including the direct deposit destination. I know that's correct cuz I've been getting my SS deposit there right on time each month.

[old2soon]

     Should/If/When the 2nd stimulus payment shows up I hope it arrives like the first one did-direct deposit. And should that transpire I'm gonna go top shelf on the new choppers.
     Also noticed where the deez wanna give the illegals the 2nd payment along with the 1st payment. Buyin votes and election influence pure and simple from the deez. I would spect nuttin less. RIDE SAFE.

If a 2nd one comes it will be a huge mistake. Hell I didn’t  Want the first and the card don’t work so I might not have one yet there are people out ther intentionally not
Going back to work because they are getting paid more Not to go back to Work What with the extra $600 a week for not working. WTF.  I mean look at what Cookie posted he said he was making a killing with the extra $600 a week and unlimited OT when he does Work. Anyone caught not working when they can just to get that extra cash should be held responsible. This FREE money will come out of the working mans pocket (yes yours too cookie) and then the bitching will start. Why do I have to pay any of this back? Because you took it and want more.  Dumbasses is the way I see it. Some people did and do need help and I am ok with that but millions didnt need this but did they have a choice? NO. Just dont make good sense.
