I signed into the the “Get my stimulus” website at the IRS and it says:
" We scheduled your payment to be mailed on January 6, 2021 to the address we have on file for you.
We will mail you a letter with additional information on this payment."
Well, its the 14th and I still haven’t received anything. Why they mailed it is beyond me, they deposited the April stimulus directly to my bank account.
When I learned of that on-line check-up site a few days ago, I went there to see what it said. I wanted to see if it would say the payment was made, according to their records, on Jan. 1 or a day or more before that in 2020. (See the thread about determining the exact payment date for tax reporting purposes.)
Well, suprise, suprise. It said the payment was made on January 6, direct deposited to my account – which I actually got on Jan. 1. This seems to have caused a quantum FTL rift in the fabric of the universe.
National news is banned in Casa Pullin, so we were only dimly aware of another stimulus discussion. On NYE, our youngest came into the living room with her phone and asked if one of us had “zelled” her some money. We were mystified, but mizPullin figured out it was another stimulus payment. I was still sitting on the couch with a puzzled look, asking what a “zelle” was.
Got the Debit Card on the 12th. Arrived in the mail looking exactly like junk mail, except for a lame “this isn’t junk mail” blurb, which worked- I opened it to see what the hell it really was. But I came that close to tossing it unopened.
