Already There Are Glitches With The Stimulus Payments

I read about one man who found out his direct deposit went to a non existent account number, even though the IRS had his direct deposit information. The last number was wrong. Another said his went to his old bank where the account had been closed even though he filed his 2019 taxes which showed his new bank account number. His tax refund was even deposited into the new account so he was baffled as to why his stimulus was attempted to be deposited into the closed account.

To top it off, people are having problems trying to use the IRS portal to find out the status of their stimulus payments; they are getting Payment Status Not Available messages. I've also read about two people who got over 8 million dollars deposited along with their stimulus payments. Although the man who saw 8.2 million on his ATM receipt said it was corrected pretty fast, I'm sure these other glitches and mishaps will not have quick, easy fixes.

Yes I read that as well. Well they wouldn't have a way of knowing the people are dead if 2019 taxes weren't filed indicating that. Then again, it's the government...they still might mistakenly send them out.
 

Haven't gotten mine yet and I thought we SS recipients were supposed to be getting ours first. Found out that people who get SSA, SSI or RR-1099s can't use the IRS portal to track our stimulus.
 
Mine will probably go to the state since I was on Medicaid for a while and the state helps pay for my prescriptions and my Medicare premium. Can't see them letting that many $ slip by without collecting something back.

According to this article Medicaid won't be taking N.J. Medicaid recipients' checks. Perhaps you can find out the ruling for your state by doing a search like I did.

I figure mine will come next week which is the same time the regular SS payments will be direct deposited. Will be a separate direct deposit.

Social Security payments are deposited the week of a person's birthday (I thought). My husband got his the first week of the month. I get mine the 4th week of the month.

I don’t feel sorry for them, it takes sacrifice to save and that’s what we did and people who didn’t have to live with the consequences. I’m not into bail outs.

Don't worry. Nobody like you feels bad for anybody like them. Hopefully, nothing happens in this coming turbulent economy that will drain your accounts. Thoughts and prayers.

Im sure there are many that have had unfortunate events happen in their lives (cancer, medical, accidents, job loss) that have put them into a paycheck to paycheck situation. Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.

Thats another issue and you and I know it. And yes I am proud of our family for sacrificing and I will pat us on the back because it took suffering for us to get there. We lived next to a junkyard for 25 years and saved half our paychecks to pay off our entire house I’m sick and tired of people that drive around in their fancy vehicles with huge car payments buying fancy houses, playing the market and taking risks and generally living way above their means and when the Doodoo hits the fan they start crying and whining when in fact they themselves put themselves in the situation. Those individuals who have circumstances beyond their control are another story such as those with a severe disability such as my close family member who by the way works and those who cannot work due to illness, you have twisted my words and that is wrong.
 
Defining "paycheck to paycheck": Many folks like me were "working poor" - For me, it was the job choices that I made from teaching preschool to working with the elderly - always just hovering around minimum wage. I was always frugal, but there was rarely a time when I had more than a dollar to spare at the end of the month. I always had a strong work ethic and resented lazy people who "work the system" - but, now, if the money runs out before I die, I will apply for government benefits - after all, I paid into them all my life.

They are your words. I didn’t twist them.

You made a broad generalization that people who live paycheck to paycheck are lazy while you sacrificed and are successful. You don’t know this at all and to make that statement .......

:unsure: So is your wife's benefit "spousal," based on your work record? If so, her payment is based on YOUR birthday since you are the primary SS beneficiary.

Social Security benefit payments are deposited on the second, third, or fourth Wednesday of each month, depending on your day of birth.

I get my SS check on the third day of the month. Direct deposit. I have not received the $1,200 .00.

My post has nothing to do with the Stimulus money or when it will be received. I was responding to the discussion about when Social Security payments are made.
