The government promised everyone making under a certain amount stimulus checks of up to $1200/person to help with the coronavirus pandemic. Question is, when are they coming?? We already have a thread on all the ins and outs of qualifying and how much you will get. So this thread is solely assuming you qualify and you are just wanting to know when you will get it.
They will start sending out stimulus money the week of April 13th - 17th, 2020. And they should be done sending out all checks and doing direct deposits for most everyone by early September. Here's the timetable, which is currently an estimate and subject to change:
1) Direct Deposits go out during the week of April 13th. This will be for roughly 60-70 million Americans, basically anyone that filed their 2018 or 2019 taxes with current direct deposit info on file.
If you haven't filed your taxes for 2019 yet, its best to do so now and include your direct deposit info so they can send you your money as soon as possible.
UPDATE as of 4/10/2020: There are IRS portals for filers and non-filers that don't have their have direct deposit info on file with the IRS, so you can manually submit info and avoid waiting on paper checks in the mail. Or if you need to update your address or check status of your incoming money.
2) Social Security recipients are scheduled to get stimulus checks by end of April. Or the first week of May at the latest. This includes those receiving Social Security, either through retirement or disability, and RRB recipients. Your check will be direct deposited automatically if you get your benefits through direct deposit, with no need to do anything. If you get benefit checks in the mail, your check will come in the mail.
UPDATE as of 4/15/2020: SSI recipients will now get their stimulus checks deposited automatically by early May. The money will go into the same account or onto the same card you get your current SSI benefits.
3) Physical stimulus checks start being mailed out, beginning April 24th, 2020 and conclude the first week of September, 2020. They will be sent out in chunks of up to 5 million/week at a time and done in the order of how much you made, from lowest to highest income.
Here's the rough timetable all 2020 dates they will issue paper checks. Find your income range to see your estimated check arrival date. Income is based on 2018 or 2019 taxes filed, whichever is more recent.
