Stimulus direct deposit, checks and EIP cards.

[Sunset]

Surprisingly, a person I know on SS, and gets it auto deposited into the bank for years, received the stimulus check in the mail.

Yes, if your 2019 tax return was filed and processed by around mid-March, then they used that.

Actually my DGF's son had his return filed in mid April and already received his tax refund and stimulus.
In 2018, he was a dependent, so they couldn't have used that years' return.

We had been asking the bank every 10 days or so if our "share" had hit our account. We receive our SS electronically and any tax refunds as well. Surprisingly, we JUST received "our share" by check. YMMV

Did the timing of your paper check comply with the table published earlier in this thread? Not to be too nosey, but what date does that table say for you AGI?

I got my paper check today. Two weeks ahead of the schedule posted earlier.

My 2018 AGI disqualifies us, but 2019 would qualify but I filed on paper which sits in a trailer somewhere. So, I am still waiting for IRS to reopen.

EIP card?

Anyone else received one (besides me)?

Got it in the mail yesterday. An amount less than the full amount due to AGI in 2018 being in the "nether regions" between full benefit and none.

I hate dealing with a prepaid debit card. But it says it is eligible for a teller transaction to roll the whole amount into your bank account.

Just wondering if anyone has dealt with an EIP card yet....

Got $2400 on check Saturday. Bought 11” IPAD PRO this morning. I’m in da money!

I didn't but I did see a news article indicating that they were issuing some prepaid debit cards like you describe. I'm not clear on what the criteria is for those versus a paper check.

 

[RobbieB]

I got mine. Next month I'll send it back to them.

 

[Winemaker]

I got mine. Next month I'll send it back to them.

Likewise. We haven't filed for 2019 yet but the check came Thursday.

 

[Badger]

Check came in the mail yesterday for $2148.25. Kind of surprised. T first I thought I wasn't going to get one and later thought if I did it wouldn't be until sometime in July.

It will be going to a couple of charities that need it more. We still get SS and a couple of small pensions.



Cheers!

The one I got has nothing about that. IF you activate it, and IF the bank accepts that debit card, I suppose they would issue the cash to you & then let you write a deposit slip.

Not that big of a deal to ACH transfer to your account. Activate the card and order the ACH on their website. No fees. Just need the routing # and account #.
