Hopefully I'll Get The Next Stimulus by Direct Deposit

We got our earlier checks by mail, but this one came Direct Deposit....I'm still trying to figure out how the IRS got our bank account number, as I always get our tax refunds via the mail. I guess this is another example of "Big Brother" knowing everything about us.

If you ever wrote a check to anyone, your routing number is on the check (it's that long number after your account number). Anyone who gets your check has your routing number & can deposit into your account. That's how I get my SS. That's probably how the IRS deposited my stimulus payment into my account.

Yeah, the IRS probably coordinated with SS on these checks....and since our SS is Direct Deposit, that would explain it.
 
I called the bank today to chk on things, and I have rec'vd my stimulus check. Surprised.
I got it DD on 3/24. I wasn't really sure by what method I would be rec'ving it. The first one was a paper check in the mail, the 2nd was that debit card, and this time the direct deposit.

So, I'm good.

Very odd. Three of us in CA (you, me and @win231) received all three of our payments in exactly the same way.
 
I checked yesterday on the IRS site and found that mine will be direct deposited on March 31. I assume my wife's will be done at the same time, since that is the way the other two went.

Might as well get stimulated since we will all be paying for it down the road anyway. :eek:

Well your example is more mystifying than mine! And you're right...they know stuff about us that we don't even know they know. :eek:
 
I just got my bank statement today, and saw that the stimulus check was deposited to my account on March 24th. I didn't expect to get it this way, since I never had any tax dealings via my bank account, and since my last one came by regular mail. Like Starsong, my SS deposits go directly into my bank account.

My bank emails me a daily email update on my checking account. It states the balance and any deposits or withdrawals over previous 24 hour period. I was quite surprised to see that $2800 deposit!
