... did Crooked Donald get his wish - does his signature appear on the check? If so, that's a "win" for him as some people will think it's coming directly from their divine Mr. D.

(5,174 posts)as I wasn't owed a refund for last year or this year, so I don't have direct deposit info on file with the IRS.
I DID get the $600 monthly supplement to my regular unemployment check, and that was worrying me more. That will tide me over until I get the $1200 money, however I end up with it.

(43,400 posts)Two U.S. government agencies are collaborating to launch a web app next week that will help Americans access payments from the country's economic stimulus measures.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/news/app-to-ease-direct-deposit-of-stimulus-checks-will-launch-next-week-us-officials-say/ar-BB12tZDw
According to a news release from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the treasury department and the IRS will launch the free "Get My Payment" app at IRS.gov next week. The app will allow taxpayers who have filed tax returns in 2018 and 2019 without providing bank information to submit information for direct deposit and receive the economic impact payments sooner, rather than waiting for a check to arrive in the mail.
App users will also be able to track the status of their economic stimulus payment by providing basic information, including Social Security number, date of birth and mailing address. Taxpayers who want to add bank account information to speed receipt of payment will be prompted to provide their adjusted gross income from the most recent tax return submitted in either 2018 or 2019 and the refund or amount owed from their latest tax return. App users will also be asked to provide their bank account type, account and routing numbers.
The app, which can operate on any desktop, phone or tablet, does not need to be downloaded from an app store. Treasury and IRS officials are encouraging those who plan to use the app to collect the required information ahead of time. Taxpayers who did not file a tax return in 2018 or 2019 can use "Non-Filers: Enter Payment Info Here to submit basic personal information to quickly and securely receive their payments.
Americans who filed 2018 or 2019 tax returns with direct deposit information or receive Social Security do not need to take action. They will automatically receive payment in their bank accounts, according to Treasury officials. To help protect against potential fraud, the "Get My Payment" app does not allow people to change bank account information already on file with the IRS.

(4,191 posts)I thought the additional 600.00 was weekly?
House of Roberts
(5,174 posts)If it was $600 a week, that WOULD be a disincentive to go back to work. I'm getting $275 a week from the state (Alabama).
I kept trying to check my balance with my credit union, and getting an error message, but I finally got through to find it did deposit on Friday.

(4,191 posts)So that is a bright spot. It shouldn't act as a deterrent since it is short term

(5,174 posts)so I will really feel better if another $600 shows up next week. Of course, I'll have to continue conserving my money, and with my house mates getting their $2400 pretty soon, because they did get a direct deposit refund this year, we should be okay in the short run.
It is costing a bit more to eat, but we're cooking more at home, so that may help. We're eating a lot of spaghetti so far, and we do like it a lot.

(5,174 posts)That is going to make this ordeal a lot better, and thanks for the info on this program.
I think my 14 weeks of Alabama unemployment will expire just about the time the $600 payments run out.

(54,399 posts)I didn't follow who gets one and who doesn't, but my official residence is in Germany, anyway. Even if I got one, I'd just send it back to my elder daughter, who lives in the States, and needs it more than I do.

(9 posts)Got mine Friday night around 8pm unusual time for any deposit. I used chime so maybe that had something to do with it.

don't qualify and I don't need it.
Even if I did qualify, I would just donate it to a needy family I know.
for April 15th.
