Already There Are Glitches With The Stimulus Payments

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.

Apparently people who started receiving their SS payments prior to May 1997 still receive the payments on the 3rd of the month, so I stand corrected. From the SSA website:

The Social Security Administration (SSA) adopted this staggered schedule in June 1997. Prior to that, all benefit payments went out on the third day of the month, but that became unwieldy as the number of beneficiaries grew.

Most people who started receiving benefits before May 1, 1997, are still paid on the third of the month. The third is also the monthly pay date for Social Security beneficiaries who live abroad, and for people who receive both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits.
 
I used to get my Social Security payment on the second Wednesday of every month but it changed to the 3rd of every month when I was put on a Medicare Savings Program. I get mind Direct Deposit too.

Thanks. I must have started receiving my SS just before May 1997.
 
That’s about 45 million, they will all be deposited in the same week. I figure end of April first of May.
 
My husband has his Social Security and I have mine...We both worked and retired...My SS comes on a Wed the third of the month...
Hubby's comes on the last Wed of the Month...And Not in the mail....
 
My husband started in April 96,his came on the 3rd.
I started collecting in 2014,widows benefits,my birthday is 9/11 and my deposit is the 3rd Wednesday,monthly.

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.

Some people are working two and three jobs and still can't make ends meet. They may be stuck in high rent areas, have sick children and no or poor health insurance and in low paying positions. I don't feel sorry for people who do have the ability to save but don't. I feel very sorry for those who are just unable to do it.

I don't understand your answer (??) It worked when I did the search. Just sayin..... Anyway, I'd be interested to find out how you make out. Hopefully it will be in your favor.

Just saying, we've lost out on stimulus payments before. So I'm not planning on spending the money until it shows up in my account or in the mailbox. Thank you for your interest. I'd do OK without it, but could really use it rather than go into debt for some necessary things that need done..

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.

They have said they won't do that. I believe they said the only thing they will take out of the stimulus payment is if you owe child support.
 
I have several family members and friends that receive their Social Security checks by direct deposit. But, they received their stimulus payment by check. I wish mine would be direct deposited.
 
I shouldn’t write the following, but why did they think everyone needed $1200? They should have allowed an option to opt out.

If you go online and enter your bank information, your check will be direct deposited.

Where exactly do I go? Is it IRS.gov? I was also told that some of them had filed taxes and still received a check in the mail. But, maybe they didn't get a refund. I don't know.

Thank you! I will try it and if it doesn't work, I won't give up! Thanks again!!!!

P.S. I just tried it and like so many others, I got no status available. But, I'll just keep trying until hopefully I do.

I went back and tried it again, clicked the blue "Get my Payment" button but still received the Payment Status Not Available message. I'm beginning to wonder if they are sending them out alphabetically. Those friends and family I was speaking of earlier in this thread, their last names are much earlier in the alphabet than mine is. I could be wrong but it does make me wonder. I will just keep trying though and maybe I can get it to Direct Deposit.
 
I used it to enter my bank information 2 weeks ago, but still no check. I don’t need it, but if I am supposed to get a check, I would like to have it. I plan on donating it to the local SPCA.
