In my case, it was listed as pending on January 1, but wasn’t available in my account until January 4, which was the date it said I would get it. I wonder if other banks just accepted that it would clear, and gave out the money right away. As for those who haven’t gotten it, wish I knew. I remember that long delay for the first one, thinking I found the day it would come, only to a few days later find out that I would get it some other day. I think my group was one of the last to get it. Hence why I was so surprised at the prompt payment this time. ---

Direct-deposit showed up in the account the first business day of the year (with the appropriate adjustment for my 2019 AGI) ---

Got my check yesterday, and I’ll deposit it on Tuesday when the credit union reopens. ---

I got my debit card. It went immediately to my bank account, and from thence to a credit card payment. ---

# [Has Anyone Received Their Stimulus?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-received-their-stimulus/930543) That’s kind of a personal question! Are you busy later? ---

The wife and I both got ours on January 4, deposited into our account. ---

Getting a cheque, or maybe a card; I don’t have a US bank account. Looks like it’s part of the lot getting mailed out starting January 6th, but there’s no telling when it’ll get to me. Mail’s been taking up to two months to arrive from the States to here in Australia. ---

Mine was to be mailed on the 6th and it came on the 7th which is just not possible. I got a paper check instead of a direct deposit because my husband has died between the two stimuli. ---

We supposedly had something mailed Jan 6, and were expecting a card as we got a card last time. Nope it was a check this time and came today. ---

That’s a little encouraging. Mine’s still not here yet; but if some of the Jan 6 batch are still showing up, it might be along. Anybody know if there’s a way to check into whether a payment “scheduled to be mailed” actually got mailed, and if so when? ---

Where the website for Where’s My Rebate used to tell me they didn’t have enough information to send my payment (although I did receive the first one), now it’s just displaying instructions for filing a Recovery Rebate Credit form on my 2020 tax returns. ---

I’m in the same boat, “scheduled to be mailed on Jan 6.” I haven’t seen it yet. I will note that USPS has been very slow around here lately. It took over 3 weeks for my parents christmas package to get to me. ---

Well, good to hear that the mailed ones _are_ coming. I too have the “Scheduled to be mailed Jan 6th” notice (even though the last one was a direct deposit), so maybe we’ll get ours soon. ---

Sadly, the IRS widget keeps returning an error. "Errors have occurred: The information you have entered does not match our records. Please try again." Bloody hell. It’s not like I don’t know my own birthdate and stuff. 🤬 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-received-their-stimulus/930543.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-received-their-stimulus/930543.md?page=3)
