Are you still getting "Payment Status Not Available" on the Stimulus Tracker?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Please discuss. Thank you.

[Elessar Zappa]

1. Yes.

I did on the $600 also and haven’t received it or the $1400. I’ll give it a month, then I’m calling the IRS.

3. Same here, I didn't get the $600

I’m deducting it from my taxes. I fear I’ll have to do that for the $1,400. I heave heard that IRS workers are so far behind that calling would be futile.

[Paper Roses]

4. I just checked..."Access denied". ???

[leftyladyfrommo]

7. Nothing so far but I never got the $600. ,nt

[NewDayOranges]

8. I checked the IRS website on Tuesday and got

This status.

But yesterday my account was credited with the $1400! Color me surprised...

[LisaL]

17. That's a nice surprise.

But I checked my account, and nothing.

[AZ8theist]

11. Yup. No update.

But then again, I did not give the IRS my bank account number, so I have to wait for the bank card or a paper check.
I don't need the money, so I have no issue waiting for it.

Others are in desperate situations, so I would hope they get it well before me.

[Walleye]

13. Yes. Getting that message. First time I got a paper check

And the second time same, for some reason they couldn’t get it into my bank account even though my Social Security is deposited directly. I didn’t check the website first and second time. So I don’t know what message there was

[Drunken Irishman]

14. Yup. Very discouraged. First time was DP. Second time the card. Now nothing.

I wish they would have handled this better. Seems unreasonable 90 million received their stimulus yesterday and a few of us who qualified aren't getting any notice when we'll actually receive ours. At least with the last one I knew when it was being sent out.

[LisaL]

16. I got first two deposited, and now IRS can't find me?

I am actually on lock out after checking multiple times. If you check 5 times, they won't allow you to check again for 24 hours.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Yeah I had that happen earlier too.

This sucks.

[LisaL]

23. Sure does.

I had big plans for that money.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

26. I'm going to stop looking because it's depressing.

At what point do we call our representative?

[LisaL]

28. I am going to wait a couple of weeks then

try calling the IRS, I guess.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. After you fail to reach the IRS when will you call your rep?

I got my 2nd check super fast.

[obamanut2012]

35. same and same

[LisaL]

15. Yep. Status not available.

Which surprises me since I got first two with no issues, and I am eligible for this one as well.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

18. Yes

This is happening to my mom. She is on SS. She does not file taxes nor needs to. She received both previous checks direct deposit. Nothing has changed as far as where she lives or her banking information.

[Politicub]

19. Yes. It's very frustrating. We need the money to fix my car.

This is similar to what happened with the first stimulus payment. The status of the payment never changed, and the tool to update payment destination information didn’t work either. Yet we received a paper check about 60 days after the first set of payments started going out. I had given up.

We received the second stimulus check about a week after they started going out (again, as a paper check, even though my husband has had his social security deposited directly for years).

Now we’re back to the same anxiety — that we will not get the payment — that we had at the time of the first stimulus.

It’s so frustrating. I’m not sure how we ended up in the group of suck.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I got the second check super fast.

I might start checking every other day because it's depressing to see it wasn't deposited yet.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

20. Yep. First for $600 check (never received), now for $1,400 check.

[John Ludi]

21. I could never

get into that site. No matter how many permutations I gave, it told me I didn't exist.

Eventually it seemed to think better of it as I FINALLY got my FIRST $600 around September. The second $600 took all of a couple weeks.

[RussBLib]

25. Yep

My accountant said that if you don't get a check by mail Friday and you should be getting one, you should call the IRS. Normally she would do that for us, but she's buried by work.

[LisaL]

27. If you can get through to them, let us know how it went.

[mvd]

30. Yes, my mom is still getting that.

She is on Social Security and hasn’t filed taxes.

She got her first stimulus through direct deposit.

Like with me, they tried to send her second stimulus to a closed account. She was reissued a paper check.

Third stimulus status remains Not Available.

So both my mom and I are waiting because my third stimulus was sent to a closed account yet again.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. I got that over the weekend.

Then it showed I'd be getting the deposit on the 17th, and it showed up on the 16th. Yay!

[Shanti Shanti Shanti]

32. I had the "pending transaction" in my online bank account, actually showed up deposited today

[senseandsensibility]

33. Yes. I didn't get the $600 either, and I contacted

my congressional rep, a Dem. Her representative contacted me by phone and offered to help me track down the payment through the IRS, but I decided to just claim it on my taxes since I was going to owe. The same thing will probably happen with this payment. I have no idea why since I qualify and I got the first one. People with the same issue may want to contact their congressperson if they really need the money.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. How long do you think I should wait before calling my rep?

[obamanut2012]

36. Monday is what mine said

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. TY. I can use it but I don't need it.

[senseandsensibility]

38. I waited a long time (at least a month)

because it took me that long to realize that they just weren't going to give it to me. If you ask them for help now your rep might say it's too soon. Sorry, that's the best I got.

[Nexus2]

39. I received the 1,400 and just got a letter that I should get the 600 by the 19th at the latest today

[IngridsLittleAngel]

40. Yes

Despite being on Social Security/SSI and being eligible, I'm getting that status, and nothing has gone into my account. Adding to the frustration is that my roommate, who is in the same boat, did get a status - the 17th - and indeed get their payment on the 17th as scheduled.

The first $1,200 last spring, I got it several weeks after my roommate, and at no point did the website tell me it would happen. I simply logged in one day to check my account and saw the balance had gone up $1,200. The $600 at the end of the year went in very quickly. But now we're back to the IRS's website telling me nothing and sitting and waiting while most of the people I know have already received theirs.

I had honestly hoped this time would be a lot less frustrating and stressful considering there's a president in the White House and not some reality TV goon, but, no. The IRS or SSA is dropping the damned ball and causing this to once again be a source of stress.
