Just got my bank statement, balanced my checkbook and no stimulus check in the statement - just the usual stuff. And, I filed my taxes in February this year, probably the earliest I ever filed in my entire life. Maybe I just don't qualify.

I think I heard on the news it was based on your 2019 taxes first then if you didn't file 2019 it would use 2018 taxes.. People on SS and don't file will get a paper check.

Hi All. I went to the new "get my payment" tool today and put in my info and it said, "does not match our info". I tried again and got same message and then it said you only get 2 tries in a day and shut me out.I am on SS and did receive my SSA-1099 form and I get my payment direct deposit every month. I guess my payment probably went to those big Fat Cat CEO's who grabbed the cash fast that was supposed to go the small businesses. Oh well, I guess I'm just one of the "Un-deservibly few" as Eliza Dolittle's Dad said to professor Higgin's.

Do it each day

Read the instructions for the GetMyPayment tool. At the top of the list it says, if you are on Soc Sec, do not use the tool. An IRS agent that WGN Radio (Chicago) has interviewed several times says that if you are on Soc Sec, the tool will not work for you. It will always return the "no info" response, because Soc Sec recipients are in an entirely different database, all their own, and the GetMyPayment tool does not have access to that database for security reasons. They don't want Soc Sec recipients trying to access something that will not help them, because the thing is already overloaded enough the way it is. He also said that if you get your Soc Sec payment via direct deposit, you will get your stimulus payment the same way. The last time I heard him, he was guessing about mid-May for most Soc Sec recipients, but I think a few folks on Soc Sec have already got theirs, but they may still be working and receiving a regular income, in addition to Soc Sec.

With the new tool...we were able to get the date in which our stimulus checks will be deposited (April 30th)

Hey, thanks much jingleman. So they updated the thing. So scratch everything I said above. All bets are off. Yea! All that stuff I quoted above is almost a month old, and WGN has not had that guy on again since then, or at least I have not heard him.

OK! I just went into the site and it said my check would be MAILED to me on May 1st, but I get my Soc Sec direct deposit, so that part is wrong too.

As with Larry and many others, I get my Soc. Sec. via direct deposit but got a paper check. Seems very inconsistent.
